                           Egyptian Minister of Electricity Dr Hassan Yunis 
                            said Friday Egypt was keen on supporting the Palestinian 
                            people by supplying them with much needed power. 
                            Following negotiations held Thursday night with 
                            head of the Palestinian power and natural resources 
                            authority Omar Ketana, Yunis said a new transformer 
                            would be sent to Gaza to face up to new electricity 
                            needs. 
                           He added that they also reviewed studies being made 
                            to develop Gaza electricity grid.
