Two water suppliers in the southern Gaza Strip have to stop working due to a lack of fuel. The water suppliers had provided drinking water for around 200,000 people.
According to the UN, two water suppliers in the south of the Gaza Strip have stopped working due to a lack of fuel. As a result, 200,000 people no longer have drinking water, the UN emergency relief office OCHA reported on Tuesday, citing the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA). The aid organization therefore does not know how it will maintain its humanitarian support for hundreds of thousands in the second half of the week. The last fuel stocks have practically been used up. This also calls into question the distribution of aid supplies that come from Egypt via the Rafah border crossing.
Almost 1.6 of the approximately 2.3 million residents of the sealed-off Gaza Strip have been displaced since the Israeli attacks began on October 7th. Around half of the internally displaced people are staying in UNRWA facilities and have so far been provided with the essentials there. Israel responded with its attacks to the massive terrorist attack by the Islamist Hamas in southern Israel, which left around 1,200 dead. The terrorists also kidnapped around 240 people in the Gaza Strip.
