Water crisis in Gaza
News summary

UNICEF reported dire conditions in Gaza, where untreated sewage has contaminated water supplies, contributing to health issues like diarrhea and skin rashes among displaced residents. The ongoing war has devastated Gaza's water and sanitation infrastructure, with 88% of desalination plants and water wells damaged, leaving individuals with less than 5 liters of usable water per day, well below the emergency need of 15 liters. The situation is exacerbated by Israeli evacuation orders in areas like Khan Younis, further impacting vulnerable populations. In Southlands, Kenya, residents struggle with prolonged water shortages due to illegal connections diverting water, forcing them to pay exorbitant prices and wake up at dawn to access limited supplies. Similarly, Greece faces severe water scarcity due to climate change, with rainfall declining and agricultural production suffering, affecting the economy and tourism. A broader pan-Palestinian water crisis highlights the interconnected nature of water issues in the region, impacting both Palestinians and Israelis.
