Generous donations from Maldives has resulted in provision of electricity to 100 households in Gaza.
The project was conducted as part of the initiative of International Aid Campaign (IAC) to assist the less fortunate Muslims living in distress in Gaza.
The Gaza electricity crisis is an ongoing and growing situation faced by nearly two million citizens of the Gaza Strip, with regular power supply being provided only for a few hours a day on a rolling blackout schedule. Some Gazans use private electric generators, solar panels and uninterruptible power supply units to consume power when regular power is not available
In the Gaza Strip, 24 hour electricity has been a distant dream for well over a decade. Israel's continuous bombings of Gaza's only power plant, its closing of the Gaza border and fallout from the split between the Palestinian Authority and Hamas have meant chronic power outages. Not long ago, it had adjusted to eight hours of electricity a day and now even that seems a luxury.
According to International Aid Campaign (IAC), as a result of the project, households of Gaza will be able to get 10 hours of electricity each day. Moreover, as part of ''To Gaza With Love'' project, various donations from Maldives have been provided to Gaza, including provision of food during Ramadan, water, and other basic necessities.
IAC has pledged to continue in its efforts to assist the less fortunate Muslims living in distress in Gaza.
