ACTNews, GAZA - The Gaza Strip has been in
electricity crisis since 2007 in line with the siege imposed on Gaza. The Gazans
can only enjoy 4 to 7 hours of electricity a day. This condition makes it
difficult for the people of Gaza to live their daily lives.
The lack of electricity also affects the
operation of 130 water and sanitation facilities. As a result, the disposal of
untreated waste causes environmental pollution.
Said Mukaffiy of Aksi Cepat Tanggap’s
Global Humanity Response stated that the lack of electricity has made it
difficult for the Palestinians to do activities at night. Students haven’t been
able to study after dark.
This October, Aksi Cepat Tanggap provided
an alternative lighting system that is safe and economical for 10
underprivileged families.
“This energy-saving system consists of a
switch and a 26-ampere, rechargeable battery supported by six pieces of
six-ampere chargers. The batteries are charged through direct conduction. The batteries
are able to provide lighting for 10 hours continuously when fully charged,"
added Said.
Through this assistance, Indonesian
generous donors have improved the life of families in Gaza by solving their
problems such as sleep disturbances, minor accidents when mothers have to cook
at night, and lack of lighting for studying.
"Aksi Cepat Tanggap aims to help the lives
of the people of Gaza. Thank you for your generous kindness. Insha Allah, this kindness
will continue to flow,” concluded Said. []
