NBC: Thick black smoke billowed over Gaza City as the fire raged at the power plant, which is the enclave’s second-largest source of electricity and the only provider inside the territory for its 1.8 million citizens.
Jamal Dersawi, the plant’s general manager, told NBC News that the major fuel storage tanks supplying the facility took a hit before dawn. There was no immediate comment from Israel’s military about the attack.
Dersawi said that as a result the Gaza Strip — already suffering from rolling blackouts and very limited electricity — will experience “massive” power shortages.
“There is a major disaster that has now started across Gaza,” he said. “The power station has stopped so production has stopped.”
