Israeli authorities are starving Palestinians of water in Gaza
- Humanitarian access
- MSF bearing witness
After 22 months of Israel destroying and restricting access to critical water infrastructure, the amount of water available in Gaza is wholly insufficient. Organizations like MSF would be able to increase the supply of safe water in the Strip if Israel was not blocking imports of critical water treatment items. Since June 2024, for every 10 import requests of items for water desalination, MSF has had only one approved.
