Hamas doesn't want to give up using their own people as human shields (not to mention the hostages they now have) and putting military facilities in immediate proximity to mosques and hospitals, because they enjoy a propaganda advantage when the mosques and hospitals are collateral damage. The Gaza Strip could have had it's own power and water plants decades ago if the political leadership used the Israeli and international aid for building such facilities instead of pocketing it.
