Residents rely on water trucks provided by charities, but supplies are insufficient to meet basic needs. Many families who fled south after intensified attacks around Gaza City and northern areas report drinking salty or contaminated water, leading to illness. The destruction of wells and water facilities by Israeli air and ground operations has worsened the crisis, leaving hundreds of thousands unable to secure safe drinking water. The Gaza Government Media Office said in July that Israeli forces have destroyed at least 112 water-filling stations and 720 wells since October 2023, systematically dismantling the enclave’s water network. Families described long lines of women and children waiting with empty containers for limited supplies, while municipalities and rights groups accuse Israel of using thirst as a weapon against civilians. Last month, the UN humanitarian office reported that 96% of households in Gaza lack secure access to water, while nine in 10 Palestinians cannot obtain drinking water. The UN agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) also warned of “catastrophic” conditions as soaring summer heat compounded the shortage. The Israeli army has killed over 66,000 Palestinians, most of them women and children, in Gaza since October 2023. The relentless bombardment has rendered the enclave uninhabitable and led to starvation and the spread of diseases.
