Israel has cut off water and power to 2.3 million people living in the Gaza Strip.
In the besieged Gaza Strip, 2.3 million people do not have access to clean running water because of Israel’s decision to cut off water and electricity to the enclave while pounding it with air strikes.
Israel’s chokehold has seen taps run dry across the territory.
When water does trickle from pipes, it lasts no more than 30 minutes each day and is so contaminated with sewage and sea water that it is undrinkable, residents say.
The deprivation has plunged Gaza’s population deeper into misery as Israel’s bombardment intensifies one week after Hamas fighters surged across Israel’s separation fence, killing 1,300 Israelis and abducting dozens.
