MSF: Israel’s Policies Collapse Gaza’s Water and Sanitation Systems.
Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) warns that Gaza’s water, sanitation, and hygiene systems have undergone a severe and deliberate collapse since October 2023, driven by Israeli policies that have deprived the population of essential services and created life‑threatening conditions for more than 2.1 million Palestinians.
In its latest report — based on operational data and medical evidence collected between January 2024 and December 2025, along with recent field testimonies — MSF concludes that the deprivation of water and basic hygiene is not incidental but the result of systematic measures that have forced civilians into increasingly dangerous living conditions.
