Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor: Gaza faces horrific tragedy due to water scarcity

CAIRO - 15 January 2024: The Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor said that the areas of Gaza City and the northern Gaza Strip are facing a horrific tragedy resulting from the catastrophic scarcity of sources of potable water, reported Al-Qahera News TV channel.

 

“Thirst is overwhelming the areas of Gaza City and its north in a shocking manner due to the cutting off of water supplies to the Strip and the systematic and deliberate bombing of wells and water sources," according to the Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor. 

 

In an infinite toll, the toll of the ongoing, intense and unprecedented Israeli aggression against the Gaza Strip by land, sea and air since the seventh of last October has risen to more than 23,000 martyrs, and about 60,000 injured, in addition to thousands of missing persons, 70% of whom are children and women.

 

Thousands of martyrs and wounded are not recovered from under the rubble due to the continued bombing and the seriousness of the field conditions, in light of a stifling siege of the Gaza Strip and severe restrictions on the entry of fuel and urgent vital aid to alleviate the catastrophic humanitarian conditions.
