What happened
In Gaza, securing drinking water is a relentless daily struggle. The war with Israel has destroyed critical water and sanitation infrastructure, and as temperatures soar, the extreme heat is escalating an already severe shortage into a deadly humanitarian crisis. Two and a half years of war with Israel have damaged or destroyed nearly 90% of Gaza’s water and sanitation infrastructure according to UNICEF.
