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.

Israel, officially the State of Israel, is a country in the Middle East. Located on the southeastern shore of the Mediterranean Sea and the northern shore of the Red Sea. It has land borders with Lebanon to the north, Syria to the northeast, Jordan on the east, the Palestinian territories of the
West Bank and Gaza Strip to the east and west, respectively, and Egypt to the southwest.
Palestine is a geographic region in Western Asia. It is usually considered to include the Gaza Strip, the West Bank, Israel, and in some definitions, some parts of western Jordan. The name was used by ancient Greek writers, and it was later used for the Roman province Syria Palaestina, the Byzantine
Palaestina Prima, and the Islamic provincial district of Jund Filastin. The region comprises most of the territory claimed for the biblical regions known as the Land of Israel, the Holy Land or Promised Land. Historically, it has been known as the southern portion of wider regional designations such as Canaan, Syria, ash-Sham, and the Levant. Situated at a strategic location between Egypt, Syria and Arabia, and the birthplace of Judaism and Christianity, the region has a long and tumultuous history as a crossroads for religion, culture, commerce, and politics.
