THE SITUATION

Across Gaza, sources of clean, potable water are extremely scarce. Approximately two million Gazans suffer from a shortage of water, which gets exponentially worse during the summer.

Nearly 2 million people in Gaza are affected by widespread water shortages. This includes 983,623 women and 991,428 children who are exposed to numerous public health risks related to poor water quality and poor wastewater collection and treatment.

Over 97% of water extracted from Gaza aquifers is unfit for human consumption.
