Gazans struggle to keep warm facing fuel, electricity shortages
By Haaretz Staff and Channel 10
Tags: Gaza, Human rights 
Haaretz.com/Channel 10 daily feature for January 14, 2008.

The severe cold front that has swept Israel in the last several days has not spared the residents of the Gaza Strip, and low temperatures have only highlighted the severe shortages of basic supplies such as gas and electricity.

With not enough supplies to keep their families warm in the face of the miserable weather, they struggle to guard themselves through various creative means, which may soon also run short.
