ERUSALEM, 15 October 2007 (IRIN) - The continuing power cuts in Gaza have made candles a basic necessity, but many residents can no longer afford them. Ahmed Asidawi, aged 42, has been mostly unemployed since the start of the Palestinian uprising in September 2000 and he is barred from entering Israel to seek work. He is a refugee registered with UNRWA, the UN agency for Palestinian refugees. "I don't have money to buy candles. I get aid from the agency. I am registered as a special hardship case. I have no other source of income," he told IRIN from Nussairat refugee camp in central Gaza.
