The United Nations has issued a stark warning about the worsening water crisis in Gaza, where energy shortages are leaving over two million residents without reliable access to clean water. The situation is exacerbating an already dire humanitarian crisis in the blockaded region, where infrastructure is deteriorating under pressure.
Efforts to address the water shortage have been hampered by ongoing conflict, with international organisations calling for urgent intervention to provide relief. The lack of safe drinking water poses severe health risks, particularly to children and vulnerable groups.
