Palestinian Rights Group Warns of Thirst as a Weapon in Gaza
A Palestinian human rights center warns of an almost complete collapse of the water system in the Gaza Strip due to the destruction of infrastructure and the prevention of the entry of necessary fuel and equipment. This has led to a sharp reduction in the amount of water available per person, dropping from around 80 liters per day before October 2023 to between 3 and 6 liters currently. The quality of the water has deteriorated, and the networks have suffered deliberate destruction by Israel. This situation threatens the lives of more than two million Palestinians, increases the risk of disease and epidemics, and constitutes a violation of international humanitarian law, which prohibits depriving populations of water and essential infrastructure services. The center calls on the international community to intervene to stop the targeting of the humanitarian system and to open independent international investigations into these violations.
