Gaza municipalities warn of water system risk
The Gaza Strip Municipalities Union warned of an imminent collapse of the water and wastewater systems in the region due to a shortage of fuel and oils necessary to operate generators and pumping stations. This threatens to drown residents in thirst and increase health and environmental risks. The head of the Khan Younis Municipality stated that only 40 out of 700 generators are currently functioning, with the ongoing ban on the entry of essential supplies since March, which puts water and sewage services at complete risk of shutdown. Medical officials also pointed to a deterioration in health conditions due to shortages of medicines and supplies, and the suspension of many medical services, which worsens the suffering of patients—especially those with chronic illnesses—where over 21,000 patients are waiting for treatment abroad. The Union condemned international humanitarian efforts and urged them to intervene immediately by opening humanitarian corridors and facilitating the entry of fuel and medicines to mitigate the health and environmental catastrophe in the region.
