from Great Game India:
On July 17, Oxfam unveiled a shocking report (view below) accusing Israel of using water as a weapon in Gaza, drastically cutting the region’s water supply by 94% through targeted attacks on facilities. With 88% of Gaza’s water wells destroyed and all desalination plants out of commission, nearly a quarter of Gazans are now suffering from preventable diseases. The crisis has worsened with the discovery of poliovirus in Gaza’s sewage, threatening a public health disaster. Oxfam is urgently calling for a ceasefire, unrestricted humanitarian aid, and reparations from Israel for the extensive damage to Gaza’s water and sanitation infrastructure.
