Lebanon has been plunged into darkness for several days. The ongoing fuel shortage in the country has resulted in the shutdown of two main electricity production sites.
For several days, Lebanon has been the victim of a gigantic power cut. In question, fuel shortages which led to the closure of the two main production sites.
“The Lebanese power grid completely ceased to function on Saturday, October 9, at noon, and it is unlikely that it can be put back into operation until next Monday,” an official told Reuters.
“We are currently expecting fuel ships, but they should not be unloaded before Monday,” said France 24 correspondent on the spot, Zeina Antonios.
The fear of a “total blackout”
The fuel shortage has drastically reduced public electricity production in recent months in Lebanon forcing most Lebanese to use private generators.
“For the past month, Électricité du Liban, the public body in charge of supplying electricity, has warned of a risk of a total blackout, warning of this shortage of fuel oil and failing infrastructure,” continues Zeina Antonios.
“Concretely, in some regions, some no longer have access to this public electricity at all. You have to use private generators, but that does not allow you to have electricity 24 hours a day either.”
