Electricity, became the most awaited thing in Palestine. The reason is simple, because the supply of electricity never makes sense. Across Palestine, electricity is much more frequent.
The lack of power in Palestine, making the West Bank and Gaza electricity supplies partly to be purchased from Israel at a very high price. Recently news broke that the Palestinians were forced to indebted to Israel to power electricity to the West Bank.
The Israeli government signed an agreement on Tuesday (01/05/2018) to divert electricity distribution in the West Bank to the Palestinian Authority for 15 years.
Getting the privilege to distribute electricity without Israeli interference does not mean Palestine is one hundred percent off the grip. Palestinians have to pay 915 million Sheckel (Rp 3.5 trillion) of debt.
Gaza is not included in the agreement. There is no additional power to Gaza. While the power available, never enough to supply the lives of 2 million Gazans. Electricity only lives 6 hours a day, the rest of Gaza must wrestle in the dark.
For public facilities or facilities such as hospitals, power outages mean the loss of all medical support machines. Due to inability to operate almost all of its services, hundreds of dialysis patients are in critical condition, pediatric patients are all in intensive care, as well as a number of emergency operations and operations have to be postponed.
Flashback in recent months, the help of Indonesian people to run the hospital in Gaza is constantly flowing. The main priority of assistance to meet the fuel needs. In order for electricity from hospital generators throughout Gaza can remain lit.
Let's help lighten the suffering of the brothers in Palestine with our sincere prayer and our best help. Hopefully in Ramadan tomorrow, they can live worship with a calm heart as we are in the archipelago.
