Gaza: All water wells in Gaza City stopped completely two weeks ago due to a lack of fuel. Salama Maarouf, head of the government media office, said that Gaza City is facing a new environmental disaster that threatens citizens, adding to the series of disasters that the occupation has caused in the Gaza Strip since it launched its brutal aggression. This disaster is represented by the complete stoppage of all water wells in the city two weeks ago due to the depletion of quantities of water. The scarce fuel that was available to the Gaza municipality during the last period. He added in a statement linked together: 'In light of the inability of municipal crews to operate the water wells that survived the barbarism and bombing of the occupation, the entire city is now living in a state of extreme thirst due to the water outage, especially with the continued stoppage of water pumping from the 'Mekorot' line since the beginning of the aggression.' The desalination plant, more than 40 water wells, and 120,000 lin ear meters of water networks in the city were completely destroyed.' He stressed that this crisis has reached its peak now with the start of rising temperatures and the increase in demand and consumption, which requires all concerned parties to intervene urgently to provide fuel and resupply water to citizens urgently, and save them from a state of extreme thirst and the health and environmental crisis that will be exacerbated by the water shortage. We call on the international community to put an end to the occupation's crimes against the civilian service sectors, and we call on them to take urgent action to support municipalities and provide the necessary equipment and mechanisms for their work, especially in light of the large burden currently placed on them in serving citizens and delivering basic services to them, most notably water.
