Gaza residents face water crisis due to fuel ban
More than 2 million Palestinians in the Gaza Strip are facing an imminent health and environmental disaster due to the Israeli occupation's ban on the entry of fuel and spare parts needed to operate the generators. This blockade has led to the shutdown of many water and sewage treatment plants, a thousand percent increase in oil prices, and a decline in generator performance to less than 20% of their capacity. Municipalities warn of a spreading of diseases resulting from sewage overflows and the halt of sanitation services, and they call on the international community to intervene quickly by opening humanitarian corridors and providing the necessary equipment and fuel to ensure the continued operation of water and sewage services.
