Gaza faces drinking water crisis as desalination plants destroyed

Gaza is currently grappling with a severe drinking water crisis, a direct result of the destruction of all its desalination plants by Israeli forces over the course of the 51-day war. This destruction has led to an acute shortage of water, creating an unprecedented crisis with serious life and death implications. The situation is critical for the 2.3 million residents of Gaza, where, as reported by the UN Palestinian Refugee Agency (UNRWA), a staggering 70% now have no access to clean water.
