Egyptian power lines providing power to the district of Rafah in the Gaza Strip were damaged on Thursday by an explosion on the Egyptian side, cutting electricity to the area.
An Egyptian electricity company responsible for the power lines said they are working to fix the problem.
The cause of the explosion is unclear.
The beleaguered Gaza Strip has faced an ongoing energy crisis for months.
Last week, Egyptian power lines providing electricity to the Rafah district of southern Gaza were reconnected, following weeks of failures along the lines.
Two of the three lines initially failed on July 5 and the third failed on Sept. 1, an official said, adding that since then they had been repaired and failed a number of times.
Gaza's power station has been struggling to maintain its output due to both fuel shortages and lack of funds.
Gaza's energy authority has blamed the power plant's low output on taxes imposed by the PA's petroleum authority.
