Tanker trucks and others carrying cisterns move to fill up water at the Southern Gaza Desalination plant, which stopped working earlier after Israel cut off electricity supply to the Gaza Strip, in Deir el-Balah in the centre of the Palestinian territory on March 10, 2025. Israel is due to send a delegation to Doha on March 10 for a fresh round of talks on extending a fragile ceasefire in Gaza, after cutting off electricity to ramp up pressure on Hamas.
