Gaza Water Shortage Surpasses 70 Percent
The city of Gaza is facing a severe water crisis due to a deficit of over 70% in water supply, with a daily requirement of approximately 100,000 cubic meters of water, but available resources amount to only 15,000 to 20,000 cubic meters. This situation coincides with a severe heatwave that increases the suffering of displaced residents living in harsh humanitarian conditions inside tents lacking ventilation, along with the deterioration of water and electricity services. Additionally, the destruction of sewage networks and the accumulation of wastewater have led to leaks reaching the beaches, threatening the marine environment and public health, and increasing the risks of diseases and epidemics. Officials are calling for urgent international intervention to open crossings and provide essential supplies for operating basic facilities, especially fuel and maintenance materials, in order to save lives and mitigate the worsening health and environmental damages.
