Palestinian Water Authority: Catastrophic water situation in Gaza requires international intervention

Arab Newsfeature

The head of the Palestinian Water Authority, Mazen Ghoneim, once again called on the international community to take immediate action to stop the continuous Israeli aggression on Gaza Strip and to provide the Palestinian people there with the necessities of life, primarily water.

Ghoneim explained in a statement, quoted by WAFA, that the catastrophic water situation in the Gaza Strip as a result of the ongoing aggression exceeds expectations, and its effects will extend for several years, which requires urgent intervention on the ground to ensure the provision of water and rehabilitate wells to provide water to areas that are experiencing overpopulation due to the ongoing forced displacement.

Ghoneim stressed that Gaza is facing severe health disasters today, mainly the thirst disaster, as the available water has decreased due to aggravating drought and famine and the high rates of diseases and epidemics as the Palestinians have to drink salt and contaminated water due to the lack of sewage services.
