Thirst hits Gaza as clean water crisis takes hold

Thirst hits Gaza as clean water crisis takes hold
SHARE
Many Gazans, weakened by hunger, endure the grueling task of fetching water for drinking and washing in a landscape ravaged by war. Despite global attention on the starvation crisis in Gaza, the water scarcity remains dire, exacerbating health issues due to pollution from sewage and chemicals seeping into the aquifer.

The Israeli blockade has cut off the main water supply to Gaza, leaving residents to rely on contaminated wells and limited aid agency desalination units. With infrastructure destroyed and electricity scarce, families like Moaz Mukhaimar’s have to trek long distances to collect water multiple times a day.

The dire situation is further compounded by the lack of sanitation facilities, overcrowded living conditions, and insufficient water supply, leading to the spread of water-borne diseases. The daily water consumption in Gaza falls far below the minimum emergency level recommended by the United Nations, with Oxfam reporting a significant increase in water-related illnesses.

As Gazans queue for water and struggle to meet basic needs, the toll on children is particularly evident as they become primary water collectors for their families. The planned construction of a new water pipeline offers hope for improved access to clean water, but immediate intervention is crucial to prevent further casualties.

The ongoing crisis in Gaza underscores the urgent need for a ceasefire and unrestricted access for humanitarian agencies to address the humanitarian emergency. Without swift action, preventable diseases and dehydration will continue to claim lives in Gaza.
