There have been rolling blackouts in Gaza since the power station shut down on Thursday.
Israel has sealed its borders with Gaza virtually every day since 4 November, blocking deliveries of food, fuel, and medicine.
The United Nations was forced to suspend a food program serving 750,000 Palestinians on Friday due to the blockade
