Gaza's water crisis worsens
The water crisis in Gaza is worsening unprecedentedly, due to the occupation’s destruction of wells, water networks, pumping stations, and desalination plants, as well as preventing the entry of fuel, maintenance materials, and spare parts necessary to operate the system. The city faces a shortage of up to 70% in available water, with a daily need of around 100,000 cubic meters, while only about 30,000 cubic meters are supplied. Additionally, the infrastructure is deteriorating, and the lack of fuel and difficulties in accessing maintenance equipment cause wells and water pumping stations to stop working. This increases the risks of pollution and the shortage of potable water, leading to daily suffering for residents, who rely on water trucks and face frequent reductions in supplies. The municipality has called for urgent international intervention to open border crossings and provide financial and technical support to rehabilitate the water system, as the population lives in critical conditions that threaten their lives and exacerbate the spread of diseases and epidemics.
