SUBJECT: GAZA: SOME FUEL SHIPMENTS; RAFAH REMAINS OPEN 
 
REF: A. JERUSALEM 122 
 
     B. JERUSALEM 111 
 
1.  (SBU) Summary:  Shipments of fuel continued on January 24 
at the Nahal Oz fuel transfer station.  The Gaza Power Plant 
reduced output to 45 MW on January 23 to save fuel, causing 
renewed power shortages throughout Gaza City and spurring 
hospitals to use their power generators.  A growing number of 
water and sewage pumps are down due to a lack of fuel, and an 
estimated 40 percent of Gaza's population is without running 
water on January 24.  No humanitarian shipments passed 
through Kerem Shalom crossing, which was closed on January 
24.  The Gaza-Egypt border at Rafah remains open to 
Palestinians moving in and out of Gaza.  End summary. 
 
Some Fuel Shipments Made 
------------------------ 
 
2.  (SBU) Director of the Palestinian Petroleum Corporation 
in Gaza Mujahid Salama told Econoff that the following fuel 
transfers were made at the Nahal Oz transfer station on 
January 24: 
- Industrial fuel for Gaza Power Plant - 315,000 liters 
- Diesel fuel - 120,000 liters 
- Gasoline - 20,000 liters 
- Cooking gas - 250 tons 
 
3.  (SBU) Vice Chairman of the Gaza Petroleum and Gas Station 
Owners Association Mahmoud Khozendar told Econoff on January 
24 that his membership has continued to refuse to make diesel 
fuel deliveries within Gaza, as the fuel shipments have been 
for UNRWA and PA hospitals use only (ref B).  The January 24 
receipt of 120,000 liters of diesel fuel at Nahal Oz was 
destined for use at UNRWA facilities and PA hospitals, but 
the shipment was moved to a storage facility on the Gaza side 
of Nahal Oz together with the January 22 diesel shipment of 
250,000 liters. 
 
4.  (SBU) Gaza-based NGO contacts said that Kerem Shalom 
crossing was closed on January 24, while 10 truckloads of aid 
from Jordan passed through Sufa crossing. 
 
Power Plant Reduces Output 
-------------------------- 
 
5.  (SBU) Gaza Power Plant Project Manager Rafiq Maliha told 
Econoff on January 24 that he decided to reduce the Plant's 
power output from 65 MW to 45 MW on January 23, in order to 
save fuel.  He said that the Israeli fuel company Dor told 
him that they had received instructions from the Israel 
Ministry of Defense to deliver another 315,000 liters of 
industrial fuel on January 25.  If the January 25 shipment is 
made, the Plant will have enough fuel to produce 45 MW until 
January 27. 
 
Health Care Professionals 
Working Additional Hours 
------------------------ 
 
6.  (SBU) WHO National Health Officer in Gaza Mahmoud Daher 
said on January 24 that major Gaza hospitals have been forced 
to use their diesel fuel-powered generators since the Power 
Plant reduced output on January 23 from 65 MW to 45 MW to 
save fuel.  Daher said that health care workers have worked 
many extra hours in recent days to meet the growing needs of 
Gaza patients, as electrically-driven machines are not used 
when possible to save power. 
 
Growing Problems With Pumps 
--------------------------- 
 
7.  (SBU) Gaza Coastal Municipalities Water Utility engineer 
Monther Shoblak said on January 24 that the Gaza water and 
sewage situation has grown much worse in the last 24 hours. 
Shoblak estimated that 20 of 35 municipal sewage pumps are 
not operating due to a lack of fuel (three others are down 
and in need of spare parts).  He told Econoff that that 
roughly 85 of 138 municipal water pumps are down due to a 
lack of fuel.  Shoblak said that, since January 22, he has 
had to allow 40,000 cubic meters per day of sewage to flow 
into the sea, as operational pumps in Gaza City cannot move 
all the sewage to wastewater treatment facilities.

8.  (SBU) Monther said that electric pumps in northern Gaza, 
which rely on electricity from the Israel Electricity Company 
(IEC), are not operating on January 24 due to a lack of 
electricity.  He added that he did not know how or why those 
electricity flows had been cut.  Monther estimated that 40 
percent of Gaza residents are without running water in their 
homes on January 24. 
 
Border Open At Rafah 
-------------------- 
 
9.  (U) Press reports state that many thousands of 
Palestinians continue to move freely in and out of Gaza at 
the Gaza-Egypt border of Rafah.  There continue to be no 
effective border controls as of January 24, according to 
local press reports.
