Gaza Strip in Water Crisis: Severe Shortage Hits Residents as Blockade and Fuel/Electricity Scarcity Worsen

Residents in the Gaza Strip are experiencing a severe water shortage due to Israel's blockade and the lack of fuel and electricity. The shortage has reached a crisis point, with some residents only receiving a quart of drinking water per day. Surgeons at a hospital in Gaza City are now using chemical disinfectants due to the lack of water. The main water desalination stations are no longer functioning, causing a water shortage for the displaced population. The United Nations relief agency is concerned about dehydration and waterborne diseases.
