Human rights groups and the health department warned of a humanitarian crisis in Gaza as a result of the blockade that will certainly further complicate the lives of 1.5 million people in the region that has been torn by war, especially the 400,000 people living in mobile Gaza City.
Shlomo Dror, a spokesman for Israel's defense ministry, said Gaza has enough fuel and accused the Palestinian government tried to create the impression of a crisis that does not exist.
"We will close this plant completely in a few hours," said Rafik Maliha, director of the power plant. Fuel shipments from Israel usually does not come as Nahal Oz fuel terminal was closed and power was barely have a reserve stash.
The UN organization in charge of Palestinian refugees, UNRWA, warned that the move would drastically affect hospitals and water facilities.
"The logic of this movement has violated basic humanitarian standards," said Christopher Gunness, spokesman for UNRWA.
Israel has blockaded Gaza since June 2007, when Hamas in control in the region. After the Hamas leadership, Israel shut down the entire line of Life and food to Gaza. The blockade of Gaza is forcing people to make thousands of underground tunnels used to deliver food, medicine, and livestock are dwindling.
