Water shortage in Gaza reached critical levels, Unicef says
11 March 2025 08:57 GMT
The United Nations Children's Fund (Unicef) has warned that the severe water shortage in Gaza has reached critical levels, with only one in 10 people currently able to access safe drinking water.
Some 600,000 people regained access to drinking water in November 2024, but it was cut off again, Gaza Unicef official Rosalia Poulin reported.
The situation has deteriorated further after Israeli forces yesterday shut off electricity supplies in Gaza, which disrupted vital water desalination operations.
