@wizard_bisan1 explains the water crisis in Gaza that Israel has created and what Palestinians in Gaza have to do to get water in genocide. Israel has heavily restricted and weaponized water access in Gaza, using aid blockades, infrastructure destruction, and fuel denial. These restrictions have reduced water supplies by over 90 percent, forcing many residents to survive on just a few liters per day, which has caused a severe public health crisis. The crisis is driven by several key factors: Infrastructure Damage: Israeli military operations have severely damaged or destroyed the vast majority of Gaza’s civilian water, sanitation, and electrical infrastructure. Aid Blockades & Delays: Human rights organizations, including Médecins Sans Frontières, report that Israeli authorities systematically reject or severely delay the entry of critical water repair materials, chlorine, desalination units, and fuel. Deadly Attacks on Workers: Humanitarian distribution efforts have been critically hindered by deadly strikes on water engineers and drivers working with aid agencies like UNICEF. Displacement: Forced Israeli military displacement orders continuously lock relief teams out of essential service areas, making water trucking unpredictable and unsafe Israel maintains that it allows significant volumes of water to enter Gaza through several cross-border pipelines and denies deliberately restricting the equipment or fuel needed to run civilian systems. Human Rights Watch and the United Nations have repeatedly warned that using water as a weapon of war and depriving civilians of basic necessities violates international humanitarian law. #gaza #water #waterrestrictions #aidblockade #israel #donaldtrump #congress #netanyahu #un #waterdesalinationunints #ihl
