Gaza City – Palestinians in Gaza say the cost of electricity provided by private generators has surged, even as residents increasingly rely on them after Israel’s genocidal war on the enclave destroyed its public power network.

With fuel supplies severely limited and prices at record highs compared with pre-war levels, the cost of electricity has risen sharply. The price per kilowatt-hour has increased from about 2.5 shekels ($0.80) to between 20 and 30 shekels ($7 and $10) – nearly 10 times higher – placing it beyond the reach of many households.
