Israel Further Cuts Electric Power to Gaza Strip
------------------------------------------------

In the Gaza Strip, Egypt trucked an emergency supply of diesel fuel to
Gaza's only power plant Wednesday, after Israel further restricted the
amount of electricity it provides to the Palestinian territory. The
restrictions limited most residents to just two to three hours'
electricity and compounded the misery of nearly 2 million Gazans as
summertime temperatures soar. The power cuts left homes dark, spoiled
food in refrigerators and led to the release of raw sewage into the
Mediterranean.
