Gaza's limited water supply raises concerns for human health

NEW YORK (AP) — A lack of clean water in the Gaza Strip is raising major concerns for human health.

“Gaza is running out of water, and Gaza is running out of life,” said Philippe Lazzarini, chief of the U.N. agency for Palestinians.

Gaza normally gets its water supplies from a combination of sources, including a pipeline from Israel, desalination plants on the Mediterranean Sea and wells. Those supplies were slashed when Israel cut off water, along with the fuel and electricity that power water and sewage plants, in the wake of the Hamas attacks.

The United Nations recognizes access to water as a human right, and on a basic level, the human body needs a constant supply of water to survive. “Next to air,” water is “really the most important thing for maintenance of your health,” said Dr. Tsion Firew, an emergency physician at Columbia University who has worked on water access in humanitarian settings.

1. They're drinking sea water. Israel is already occupying Gaza. War crimes.

2. The IDF Claimed They Turned The Water On For South Gaza

But a BBC interviewer asked a IDF spokesperson if they were going to allow fuel into Gaza, and the spokesperson kept talking in circles, until the interviewer finally stated that without fuel, there's no electricity, and without electricity, the water pumps don't work, and there is no water.

So the IDF claim that they turned on the water for the South of Gaza is a farce.

4. No links, I presume?

5. Why Would You Need A Link?

Is the IDF allowing fuel into Gaza? No fuel, no electricity, no pumps, no water.

Hence, the IDF lied.

Ipso facto.

6. To dismiss your recollections as nonsence, I wouldn't need any.

To give your post any serious consideration, I would.

Post dismissed.

7. One Doesn't Require A Link

to recognize the BBC interviewer proved the IDF spokesperson was lying.

Assuming one comprehends simple logic.

However, I suppose it could be over some people's heads.

8. There is nothing in your post to indicate that the interview you claim

you are aware of ever took place. Let alone to determine who is lying.

Not to beat a dead horse, but... post dismissed!

9. Sorry

it's above your head.

Better luck next time.

10. It certainly is.

It would be above any person's head who applies reason to understanding.

I am in good company, thank you.

3. Blame Hamas. If the terrorists had not carried out an unprovoked attack on innocent civilians

this would not be happening.
