According to a number of media reports on the 9th, the two major power stations in Lebanon have stopped their power supply due to fuel depletion, resulting in the official paralysis of the Lebanese national power grid and may not be able to resume operation in a short period of time.
According to the Lebanese State Power Company, due to fuel shortages, two major power stations in Lebanon stopped power supply on the 8th and 9th respectively, causing Lebanon to fall into a nationwide power outage. A Lebanese government official said that the national grid stopped working at noon on the 9th and could not be restarted until at least the 11th.State Power will try to temporarily use the army's fuel reserves to re-enlighten the plant, but there is no timetable for the plan, the official said.
Sayyid, a small market operator in Lebanon: there are all kinds of inconveniences caused by power outages, and there are a lot of things we can't get or run, which makes our work very difficult.
Citizens of Beirut, Lebanon: the power outage has a great impact on me. My house is on the 11th floor. The elevator has stopped. I can't get up and down the stairs. Sometimes I sleep in the car until three or four o'clock in the morning, waiting for the call. What else can we do? Look at our life now. It's terrible.
Affected by multiple financial crises, Lebanon suffers from fuel shortages. Before the power outage on the 9th, the Lebanese people had already spent a period of time with only two hours of electricity a day. Many people rely on private diesel generators to meet their electricity needs, but diesel itself is also in short supply.
