Gaza Municipality Reports 90% Water Shortage

Gaza Municipality has declared a worsening water emergency due to damage to a key pipeline from Israeli company Mekorot, which previously supplied 70% of Gaza City’s water needs. This disruption, along with the destruction of nearly 85% of local water wells and extensive damage to water infrastructure, has resulted in a 90% shortfall in meeting daily demand. Water outages have affected multiple neighborhoods, prompting efforts to coordinate repairs with the Palestinian Water Authority.
