Mourners carry the body of Loujain Muslah, 16, wrapped with Hamas flag during her funeral in the West Bank village of Kafr Dan near Jenin, Wednesday, Sept. 4, 2024. The Palestinian Health Ministry said a 16 year old Palestinian girl was shot dead Tuesday by Israeli fire in the northern West Bank village of Kufr Dan. The Israeli army did not respond to a request for comment about the shooting, which comes during a weeklong Israeli army operation in the north of the territory. As the Israeli military operation in Jenin and its environs in the occupied West Bank enters its second week, the situation has only gotten bleaker for Palestinians in the area.

Water Shortage Raises Health Risks - Khan Younis

People fetch 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.
