Relentless heat worsens Gaza's ongoing struggle to access water

In Gaza, residents are facing a severe and escalating humanitarian crisis as relentless extreme heat worsens an ongoing shortage of drinking water. The ongoing conflict with Israel has destroyed critical water and sanitation infrastructure across the territory, turning the daily task of securing water into a critical struggle.

After two and a half years of war, the combination of damaged infrastructure and soaring temperatures has pushed the water shortage to a deadly level, threatening the health and survival of the population in the region.
