In Gaza, the water crisis continues to worsen after three years of conflict, according to local authorities controlled by Hamas.
The minimum water threshold recommended by the UN is approximately 15 liters per day per person. However, Palestinians living in this enclave have access to only half of this amount, worsening their health and humanitarian conditions.
This shortage is exacerbated by the destruction or malfunction of essential infrastructure for water storage and treatment. These damages make it difficult for the local population to access sufficient potable water.
This water crisis occurs within a broader context of prolonged tensions and conflicts in the region, severely affecting the living conditions of Gaza’s inhabitants.
