The Gaza Electricity Distribution Company has reported estimated losses of $450 million to the power sector due to Israel’s military assault on the besieged enclave.
The company stated that Israeli forces deliberately targeted its headquarters, electricity lines, and 80% of its equipment.
In a statement released on Monday, the company welcomed the recent ceasefire agreement in Gaza, describing it as a crucial step towards achieving security and stability in the region.
Spokesperson Mohammed Thabet confirmed the company’s readiness to begin rehabilitation efforts to restore power and revive essential facilities.
“We are fully prepared to repair the extensive damage and reinstate electricity services to support relief operations for citizens in Gaza as soon as possible,” Thabet stated.
The company has devised comprehensive plans for the rehabilitation of damaged electrical networks and the repair of infrastructure critically impacted during the war.
Efforts are set to commence immediately to ensure vital services are resumed across the Strip.
