Israel’s Genocidal War Destroys Over 80% of Gaza’s Water, Sewage Networks by Days of Palestine

DaysOfPal — More than 80% of water and wastewater networks in the Gaza Strip have been destroyed, sharply reducing water production and increasing the risk of contamination, a Palestinian official warned as the besieged enclave continues to struggle with the consequences of Israel’s genocidal war and the destruction of its vital infrastructure.

… The consequences extend far beyond the decline in available water. The destruction of wastewater networks, reduced treatment capacity and contamination of soil and groundwater threaten Gaza’s environment and increase health risks for Palestinians.
