Gaza hospitals without power
[...]
Israeli warplanes targeted sites in Gaza as a show of force ahead of its incursion into the Gaza Strip to retrieve an Israeli soldier captured at the Kerem Shalom crossing in southern Gaza on Sunday.
But the loss of electric power means many Palestinians will be unable to access medical care dependent on an energy source.

The loss of electric power also means loss of water as electricity is needed to pump the water to the Palestinians, a people targeted for extermination by racist Zionists..right now it is about getting rid of Hamas anyway, as the Israeli government no more believes in democracy than does the Amerikkkan government, and if a few dozen or few hundred civilians die, well, that's simply collateral damage.
Raji al-Sorani, director of the Palestinian Centre for Human Rights, says the targeting of the power station is tantamount to collective punishment for all who live in Gaza.
"It is a violation of the first, second and third articles of the Geneva Conventions. However, targeting the infrastructure isn't a way to free the Israeli soldier, but to topple the Hamas government."
Other rights activists say that power loss will likely lead to the spoiling of foods in refrigerated warehouses and in civilian homes, particularly as temperatures continue to rise in the summer months.
Restoring power is expected to take six months.
