EU cuts electricity funding to Gaza, says Hamas ‘diverting’ revenues

Ibrahim Barzak, Associated Press writer, Gaza City

Transcribed from the clipping

“Electricity in Gaza on Monday became the latest battleground in the struggle between the coastal strip’s Islamic Hamas rulers and their Fatah rivals…” A Hamas adviser is quoted in reply: “In the next few days, the government will announce the investigations of the former director of the company, who stole money the EU donated.”
