In central Gaza’s Nuseirat Refugee Camp, Palestinians, facing heavy shortages, make long lines to get some water in bottles to survive daily needs. Gaza is on the brink of a "man-made drought," with children at risk of dying from thirst, UNICEF said Friday, warning that only 40% of drinking water production facilities remain functional in the besieged enclave. "We are way below emergency standards in terms of drinking water for people in Gaza," UNICEF spokesperson James Elder told reporters at a press briefing in Geneva. According to Elder, if the current aid blocking does not end, "children will begin to die of thirst." "In a war already defined by its brutality, Gaza now teeters at its deadliest edge," he said. Out of 217 drinking water production facilities in Gaza, only 87 are currently operational, according to the agency. Elder said: "Gaza is facing what would amount to a man-made drought. Water systems are collapsing." Rejecting international calls for a ceasefire, the Israeli army has pursued a brutal offensive against Gaza since October 2023, killing nearly 56,000 Palestinians, most of them women and children. Last November, the International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant for war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza. Israel also faces a genocide case at the International Court of Justice for its war on the enclave.
