“It has become a question of life and death. It is a necessity: fuel must be provided now to Gaza to make water available to 2 million people,” reported Philippe Lazzarini, Commissioner General of UNRWA.
According to the UN, drinking water is running out in the Gaza Strip after the water plant and public water networks stopped operating . People are now compelled to use dirty water from wells, increasing the risk of waterborne diseases. Gaza has also been encountering a power outage since October 11, impacting water supplies.
At the UN base in the south of the Gaza Strip, where UNRWA has transferred its operations, drinking water is also running out.
