Israel halted supplies after an attack on fuel depot on the Gaza-Israel border last week which killed two Israeli workers, the Associated Press reported.

The power plant’s fuel reserves have been low in recent months, after Israel restricted fuel supplies in hopes of forcing halt to rocket attacks from Gaza.

Power plant director Rafiq Maliha said Saturday he only has two to three days worth of fuel left to run the plant.

The plant shut down once before, after Israelis halted fuel shipments for several days following a barrage of rocket attacks from Gaza.
