Gaza’s only power plant has run out of fuel, according to the Palestinian enclave’s electricity authority. “The only power plant in the Gaza Strip stopped functioning at 2pm (11am BST),” said Jalal Ismail, the authority’s head, having earlier warned that it was running short of fuel. Only generators will be left to power the area, which is under heavy Israeli bombardment. The blackouts follow Israel’s decision to block fuel shipments into Gaza as part of what the Israeli government has called a “complete siege”.

The sole remaining access from Egypt was shut down Tuesday after airstrikes hit near the border crossing. Humanitarian groups have pleaded for the creation of corridors to get aid in, warning that hospitals overwhelmed with wounded people were running out of supplies.

Superhero fatigue? Not for third 'Guardians' film

 LOS ANGELES -- Despite talk of growing superhero fatigue among moviegoers, Marvel's "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3" opened to a solid $114 million in ticket sales in North American theaters, industry watcher Exhibitor Relations reported Sunday. That estimated total, while well below last year's opening of Marvel's "Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness" -- which launched to the tune of $187 million -- was still "an excellent opening for a Marvel episode 3 sequel," said analyst David A. Gross, adding, "This is strong business." The latest tale of oddball intergalactic mercenaries, human and otherwise, again stars Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, Dave Bautista, Bradley Cooper and Vin Diesel -- this time on a mission to save comrade Rocket Raccoon from a scientist intent on removing his brain. The "Guardians" finally unseated Universal's "The Super Mario Bros. Movie" from the top spot in its fifth week out. The ...
