Why it matters:
The water supply cut-off not only worsens living conditions in Gaza but also increases the risk of waterborne diseases, especially in such a densely populated area in Palestine.
The big picture:
Promises made regarding the provision of technical and engineering equipment needed by the region's water sector have not yet been fulfilled. Israel has severed the Mekorot water pipeline, which supplied 70% of the city's water, exacerbating the survival crisis in the area.
What we are hearing:
Gaza Municipality warns that their forecasts indicate a worsening water crisis in the Gaza Strip as the summer season approaches.
Go deeper:
Since October 2023, the Israeli regime has been pounding Gaza in an all-out war on the strip, devastating its vital infrastructures. The Israeli regime's war on Gaza has claimed nearly 50,000 lives.
