ISRAEL “ALLOWS” MORE WATER FOR GAZANS AFTER WEAPONISING IT FOR MONTHS
June 28, 2024Israel, under pressure from Western allies to ease a humanitarian crisis in Gaza, is preparing to boost electricity to a desalination plant so it can produce more water for people in the enclave.
Israel’s genocide has left millions in Gaza with little food, scarce water, and failing sanitation.
Washington and other allies are pressing the government of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to ease the military offensive and allow in more aid and supplies to relieve the humanitarian crisis.
The Israeli plan is to directly supply electricity from Israel to a large water desalination facility in Khan Yunis, the two sources said.
The facility was established with United Nations funding in 2017 to provide drinking water to areas in Deir al-Balah, Khan Yunis and the Mawasi area, where many Gazans have fled due to fighting.
The facility has a production capacity of about 20,000 cubic meters of water per day, while today the facility provides only some 1,500 cubic meters due to the lack of electricity. Gaza depends on Israel for much of its electricity supply. That power has been cut since the fighting started.
