As Israel maintains its blockade of Gaza, Palestinians are engaged in repairing water tanks damaged by tank shells and bombs, with significant impact noted by plumber Ihab Abdel Bari, who highlights the vulnerability of these tanks on rooftops. The scarcity of water makes these tanks crucial for storage, yet the lack of available repair equipment due to the blockade raises costs, with a 500-litre tank’s price skyrocketing from $20 to over $140. Rights groups assert that the destruction of Gaza’s water infrastructure is part of a genocidal campaign to displace Palestinians from the enclave.
