Long power cut around Jajmau

 Recently, Jajmau residents faced a long power cut. It was quite intolerable. Some residents were reportedly sheltered at their relatives' residences in nearby localities. It was definitely a harrowing experience, undoubtedly. People, anyhow, tolerated the worst situation. Such a long-duration power failure in the main localities of the Jajmau area left hapless residents, old ladies, young mothers, and others leaving their homes for relatives' homes, where power supply continued without any disruption.  A totally different scene erupted over a little longer power disruption in Jajmau. There was no clear-cut information about the restoration of the power supply. The residents honestly endured the unsatisfactory situation with the support of an inverter up to 07 a.m.  Certain families moved to their relatives' places to beat the heat.  Even the political leaders kept on asking for the exact timing of the restoration of the normal electricity supply.

Water crisis in Gaza

Within a period of five short months Israel has reportedly devasted Gaza as the strip presents the semblance of Karbala!

Even water is insufficiently available to the poor Palestinians who may be cursing their fate for such a deplorable condition. 

The war started suddenly and Palestinians were thus made to suffer immensely. No efforts seem to stop the war. Only talks continue without any step for the end of Israel’s five-month military campaign on the Palestinian territory.

Today Palestinians are reportedly lacking food, water and medical aids. They have been finding refuge in camps of southern Gaza city of Rafah. 

They are nowhere to go. Families lost, houses fully destroyed in bombings and there lies dark days for the remnant inhabitants.

Surprisingly, sullen faces flock to collect the precious water in Gaza strip as the people there struggle hard to collect this water. 

It is the broken Palestinians who adequately know how difficult it is to gain the water in the war-ravaged country. How can humans live without the basic needs?

They require the water for washing clothes and undeniably for the purpose of hygiene. Long power cuts have certainly affected the water supplies.

Reportedly, they anyhow manage to gather at least a barrel with 20 litres of water, which was supposed to last a day. 

Every day or two, a water truck comes to the area, and people gather to fill water from it. 

The drawback is that the lorry stops for only 30  short minutes. Numbers of people running with barrels happen to be more and filling every barrel takes enough time. 

Grief-stricken people express that they should require enough time for everyone in the west of Rafah city to get water or  for those staying inside a tent in the west of the city in southern Gaza.

Their tale of woes could be further grasped when they stated: The small amount of water they luckily get, will not be relatively or sufficiently enough to use the toilet. So how could they think of using water for washing and cleaning. But who cares?
