Israeli Energy Minister Israel Katz says he had ordered the state-run electricity company to halt supply to the blockaded enclave.

“I have signed an order instructing [Israel] Electric Company to stop the electricity supply to Gaza,” he said in a statement.

While there is an operational power station in Gaza, it relies heavily on power from Israel and has faced years of regular outages.
