Gaza Receives Limited Drinking Water
The Gaza Strip is suffering from a severe water crisis, with the available water amounting to no more than 20% of the daily needs, which are estimated at 100,000 cubic meters. Currently, only 15,000 to 20,000 cubic meters are being supplied each day. The crisis is exacerbated by an intense heatwave, the destruction of sewage networks, and the accumulation of wastewater that reaches the sea at approximately 24,000 cubic meters daily, threatening the marine environment and increasing health and environmental risks. The suffering of residents and displaced people within the camps is also growing, as it becomes difficult for them to maintain cleanliness, raising the risk of disease outbreaks and deepening the humanitarian crisis amid shortages of essential materials needed to repair networks and manage waste. The municipality has appealed to international organizations and humanitarian entities to intervene immediately by opening crossings and delivering fuel and necessary equipment to ensure the sustainability of basic services and improve the situation of water and sewage systems.
