Saudi Arabia on Tuesday condemned Israel's decision to cut electricity supplies to the Gaza Strip, urging the international community to take action.

The Foreign Ministry expressed "condemnation in the strongest terms of the Israeli occupation authorities' use of collective punishment against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip by cutting off electricity to the area.”

On Sunday, Israel disconnected the only power line to a water desalination plant in Gaza.

The Ministry called on the international community to "take urgent actions to immediately and unconditionally restore electricity and ensure the flow of aid to Gaza.”
