HRC: Israel turns thirst into tool of slow death threatening lives of over two million Palestinians in Gaza.
The Gaza Center for Human Rights warned on Saturday of the near-total collapse of the water network in the Gaza Strip, as Israeli attacks on the Strip continue, accompanied by the destruction of infrastructure and the prevention of fuel and equipment needed to operate and maintain water facilities from entering Gaza.
In a statement obtained by the Yemeni News Agency (Saba), the center affirmed that Israel is using this situation, which it has imposed on Gaza, as a means of punishing and pressuring its residents by creating an uninhabitable environment, warning of an unprecedented escalation of humanitarian and health risks.
The center stated that this situation is forcing more than two million Palestinians to face the summer in catastrophic conditions, with temperatures exceeding 40 degrees Celsius in tents and shelters.
