@Mohamadsohiel 3/9🧵 Electricity-2 The cost of buying a solar panel in Gaza is ~$2500. Similar panels are sold in the USA and EU for under $300/€300. Additionally, for electricity after dark, one needs to have a 12V 75 Amp battery, which will cost another $2500-$3000. Batteries like this also cost ~$300 in the USA. @Mohamadsohiel #Gaza #Palestine #Genocide #MutualAid #HelpGaza #GazaVerified

@Mohamadsohiel 2/9🧵 Electricity-1 The only way people can access electricity is by purchasing it by the kiloWatt-hour (kWh) from folks running diesel generators. The current price in Gaza is $10 per kWh. To put that in perspective, Californians pay $0.20-$0.34per kWh, and Germans pay about €0.40 per kWh of electricity. It’s a struggle and hardship to just charge a phone in Gaza. https://chuffed.org/project/176848-support-mohamad #Gaza #Palestine #Genocide #MutualAid #HelpGaza #GazaVerified
