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.

                  Palestinian journalists gather to mourn their colleague Ahmed Al-Louh in Nuseirat refugee camp, Gaza, on December 16, 2024. Al-Louh was killed alongside five Civil Defense team members in an Israeli airstrike. The death toll in the Gaza Strip from the 14-month war between Israel and Hamas militants has topped 45,000 people, Palestinian health officials said Monday. The Gaza Health Ministry said the real toll is likely higher because thousands of bodies are still buried under rubble or in areas that medics cannot access. Almost 107,000 have been injured since the start of the war, the ministry added. It does not distinguish between civilians and combatants in its count, but it has said that more than half of the fatalities are women and children.
