Gaza's Water Crisis: A Looming Health Catastrophe

Gazans are facing a catastrophic water crisis as the fuel needed to run water systems in the Gaza Strip runs out. With water production at only 5% of normal levels, residents are forced to drink dirty, salty water, sparking concerns of a health crisis. Hospitals are struggling to sterilize surgical equipment due to the lack of water, and experts fear the spread of waterborne diseases. Israel's blockade has limited the flow of vital supplies, including water, food, and fuel, exacerbating the situation. International agencies warn that without fuel, safe drinking water will run out, leading to severe dehydration and potential deaths.
