‘We need water’: Gaza residents suffer acute water shortages as Israel tightens aid access https://tankie.tube/videos/watch/724dcb36-ff17-4ec9-9634-d863631e37a1 Five months into a so-called ceasefire, displaced residents of Gaza are facing severe difficulties accessing clean water as Israel has restricted the entry of aid into the territory after destroying most of its water infrastructure during two years of genocidal war. “Before, we had a house and there was water and everything. Now there's no water or anything. This water crisis is very serious. It's not just me, it's everyone, everyone is struggling from water shortages,” says one displaced woman. UN experts have accused Israel of using thirst as a weapon of war against Palestinians in Gaza. An estimated 90 percent of the territory’s water and sanitation infrastructure is out of reach to its residents, partly due direct Israeli attacks. Support stories that matter.
