– Lebanon Plunged Into Darkness As Last Operational Power Plant Runs Out Of Fuel:
The entirety of the Lebanese capital and the whole nation has been plunged into darkness amid a crippling power outage which has been in effect since midday Saturday.
That’s when the state power provider Electricité du Liban (EDL) announced in a statement that “the last operational unit at the Zahrani power plant was forced to shut down completely, due to the complete depletion of the plant’s fuel oil reserves, resulting in a total power outage across all Lebanese territories.”
The official statement identified that the shutdown affects “essential facilities such as the airport, port, water pumps, sewage systems and prisons.”
