Gaza Faces Water Shortage in Summer
The Gaza Strip is facing a severe water crisis as a result of Israeli occupation targeting its water infrastructure. A total of 72 vital wells and 150,000 meters of water transmission networks have been destroyed, leading to the disruption of 85% of central wells and reducing daily water production from 100,000 cubic meters to less than 30,000 cubic meters—a deficit exceeding 70%. Consequently, the per capita daily water share has dropped to between 10 and 20 liters, far below the minimum standard set by the World Health Organization, which is 80-100 liters. The crisis has caused water prices to skyrocket by over 500%, and more than 95% of the population is deprived of access to safe drinking water. This situation threatens the spread of diseases and epidemics in the displacement camps, especially among children who bear the burden of carrying water under harsh conditions. It also reflects international collusion and global silence in the face of this tragedy, which is considered a human rights violation and a crime against humanity.
