Three out of 18 water wells functioning in Deir al-Balah: Unrwa
The UN’s agency for Palestinian refugees (Unrwa) said that only three out of 18 of central Gaza's Deir al-Balah water wells are functioning, leading to an 85 percent water shortfall.
"Not only are people in Gaza in constant fear for their lives, but they struggle to meet even their most basic needs," the agency said on X.
An increasing number of Palestinians are being displaced from Deir al-Balah, as the Israeli army expands its ground operations in the area.
Due to ongoing military operations in Deir Al-Balah, only 3 out of 18 water wells there are still functioning, resulting in an 85% water shortfall.
