Gaza Water Crisis Deepens
Gaza is facing a severe water crisis that is worsening due to the destruction of wells, water and sewage networks, as well as the limited operation of desalination plants and the difficulty in providing sufficient quantities of drinking water for the displaced. About two million Palestinians are struggling to access potable water, as residents often have to wait for long hours and travel distances of several kilometers to reach a comprehensive water source. Efforts to supply water rely heavily on donations; non-regularly serviced areas require around ten trucks daily, with demand increasing during the summer due to higher needs for bathing and daily use. The sector suffers from limited desalination capacity, with some plants shut down or operating at reduced capacity, making access to clean drinking water a major challenge. The crisis is further intensified by the rising costs of fuel-dependent truck operations, especially in remote areas and near the Green Line, complicating water delivery to the displaced and exacerbating the population's suffering. Winter rains help alleviate some needs, but potable water remains a daily necessity. The report highlights the urgent and ongoing need for support to operate desalination plants and water facilities to ensure the sustainable fulfillment of basic needs.
