Water as a Weapon: Israel’s Destruction and Deprivation of Water and Sanitation in Gaza.
Israeli authorities have used access to water as a weapon against Palestinians, systematically depriving people in Gaza, Palestine, of water in a campaign of collective punishment, according to a report released by Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF). MSF urges the Israeli authorities to immediately restore water for people at the required levels in Gaza. Israel’s allies must use their leverage to pressure Israel to stop impeding humanitarian access, including water infrastructure needs.
