Water Shortage Raises Health Risks - Khan Younis

Children leave after fetching water in the southern Gaza Strip city of Khan Younis, on July 2, 2024. Nine months into the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, war-torn Gaza is facing increasingly severe water shortages exacerbated by the dry summer, dwindling supplies, and devastated infrastructure. About 67 percent of water, sanitation facilities and infrastructure have been destroyed or damaged in the Gaza Strip, the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) said on the social media platform X in June. Water production from groundwater wells, which historically accounted for 80 percent of Gaza's water supply, has recently dropped from 35,000 to 15,000 cubic meters per day, shrinking by over 50 percent of pre-war groundwater production capacity, according to UN statistics in June.
