    Lack Of Clean Water Brings Disease And Suffering - Gaza

    Lack Of Clean Water Brings Disease And Suffering - Gaza

    A palestinian girl carries the bottles filled with clean drinking water in Rafah, Gaza strip on March 16, 2024. Since the war began in Gaza four months ago, little infrastructure has been spared by the near-incessant airstrikes that have struck the enclave, including water pipes. According to UNICEF, at least half of the water and sanitation facilities in Gaza have been destroyed or damaged, while UNWRA reports that around 70 per cent of people in Gaza are drinking salinised or contaminated water. Palestinians in Rafah on the Egyptian border, once a town of 300,000, but now hosting 1.5 million displaced people from all over Gaza, struggle to find clean water for drinking, cooking or washing. Living conditions for people in this part of the enclave are desperate – a result of the overcrowding and of the lack of clean water, toilets, showers and sewerage systems, aggravated by the cold winter weather.
