VARIOUS OF PEOPLE CARRYING FILLED BOTTLES AMONG RUBBLE OF DESTROYED BUILDINGS GAZA STRIP, PALESTINE - OCT. 3: Displaced Gazans have been enduring extreme water shortages, with families saying their children are falling sick. They spend long days without a single drop of clean water, often waiting five to six days for distribution trucks to arrive. Dramatic video showed that Palestinians trying to get water from a tanker truck, brought by a charity organization, are waiting in line for hours. Limited access to drinking water force them to drink contaminated or salty water that causes various illnesses. Gaza is experiencing a deep water crisis due to the destruction of wells and water infrastructure in the area during Israeli land and air attacks. - Thirst used as weapon 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. Since October 2023, Israeli bombardment has killed nearly 66,300 Palestinians, most of them women and children. The UN and rights groups have repeatedly warned that the enclave is being rendered uninhabitable, with starvation and disease spreading rapidly.
