Gaza, a narrow strip of land beside the sea, needs desalination to supply water to its population, but electricity shortages mean it is unable to produce enough for everyone to drink.

Israel is enforcing a blockade on the territory that prevents fuel and materials needed to run and repair its power stations, from getting in.

This is one of the causes of the territory's dire electricity shortages, which are now causing a water crisis, as without electricity Gaza's main desalination plant cannot run.

Observers warn that without help the issue could become a much bigger humanitarian crisis.

Due to the electricity shortage in Gaza Strip, the main seawater desalination is unable to perform to meet the need of the Gaza People. It's worth mentioning that the main power station's shorage up to 56%, which doesn't meet the basic needs of the main aspects of life. Also, the Israeli Authorities don't allow the entry of fuel for the power station in the Gaza Strip. All these circumstances make obstacles and prevent Gaza People to enjoy drinkable water, which will lead to a humanitarian crisis.
