Water Authority Warns of Valve Attacks Risking Supply
The Water Authority condemned the attack on the main valves of the water pipeline supplying the towns of Ezna, Al-Koum, Triqumia, Beit Awa, and Deir Samit in Hebron Governorate. This attack threatens the continuity of water supply to citizens, especially during the summer and the intense heatwave. This incident comes after efforts to increase water capacity from approximately 120 cubic meters per hour to 300 cubic meters, aiming to improve water distribution and alleviate the water crisis. However, the locks were cut and valves tampered with by illegal parties, intending to sabotage these efforts and exploit the residents' needs. The Water Authority affirmed that such repeated attacks jeopardize human rights to water. It is working with security authorities to pursue those involved, enhance oversight to prevent future incidents, and condemn any illegal water exploitation that endangers citizens' lives.
