Al-Jazeera correspondent in Lebanon reported that the electricity network was completely cut off, which led to a power outage in all Lebanese regions.
The disconnection of the network - affiliated to the Electricité du Liban - came after the "Deir Ammar" plants in the north and "Al-Zahrani" in the south stopped working, as a result of running out of "diesel".
The Electricity Corporation is working to try to restart the network manually and within the minimum, and Reuters news agency quoted an official source that the power outage will continue for several days.
It is reported that the electricity network was completely disconnected previously, as a result of malfunctions and the scarcity of fuel.
For months, Lebanon has been suffering from a severe shortage of fuel for power generation, due to the lack of foreign exchange to import from abroad, which caused an increase in the hours of power cuts to more than 22 hours a day, and this was reflected in the details of daily life.
The lack of fuel and electricity cuts in the country caused a severe shortage of water for domestic use, and it was cut off for consecutive days from Beirut and a number of regions.
This has prompted many citizens to buy water transported by private tanks at a high cost, but the majority of the population cannot pay for water, so they have to wait for days.
There are fears of contamination of groundwater - on which Lebanon largely depends - with waste and sewage, as most of it is invested randomly and without supervision.
The United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) has warned that 4 million people in Lebanon are at risk of severe water shortages or complete interruption of the drinking water supply in the next few days if urgent action is not taken, adding that most of these are children and poor families.
