Previously reportedDue to the shortage of drinking water, Gazans are forced to drink brackish water from agricultural wells. Palestinians in Gaza do not have access to clean drinking water after the operation of the water network and desalination and water purification plants was stopped, UN experts said.
As of October 12, most residents of the Gaza Strip no longer have access to drinking water, the UN said. Since the beginning of the conflict, air strikes have damaged six water wells, three water pumping stations, a water reservoir, and a desalination plant serving more than 1,100,000 people, and on October 8, Israeli authorities cut off water supplies. UNICEF says some people have started drinking seawater, which is already highly salty and contaminated by sewage from the discharge of more than 120,000 cubic meters of untreated sewage per day.
