Algae bloom impacts Israel's water supply
A microalgae bloom in the Mediterranean has clogged five of Israel's six major desalination plants, reducing their capacity and raising concerns over water security. The bloom, linked to higher sea temperatures and possibly worsened by damage to Gaza's sewage treatment infrastructure, has persisted for weeks. While Israel's water supply has been minimally affected, Gaza's water infrastructure remains severely damaged, impacting millions. Experts view this event as a warning about potential vulnerabilities in Israel's reliance on desalination amid ongoing regional tensions.
