UN decision: The occupation cut off drinking water in the Gaza Strip is a silent but fatal bomb
The UN Rapporteur on Human Rights in obtaining drinking water and sewage services, Pedro Arojo-Agodo, said that the destruction of Israel, the existing power of the occupation, for the water infrastructure in the Gaza Strip and preventing access to clean water, is like a silent but fatal bomb & quot;
Agudo explained in a press statement today, Tuesday, that 2.1 million people are in Gaza faces a water crisis, and that about 70% of the water infrastructure in the region was destroyed by Israel. He added that the Israeli siege imposed since October 2023 included food, water, electricity, and another basic good. He pointed out that the crisis was out of control, after Israel cut off the fuel needed to operate water and wells purification plants. He stressed that the deliberate destruction of water systems means the use of water as a weapon in the war on Gaza. He continued: & quot; water is used as a weapon, but not against an army or militia, but against civilians. Cutting drinking water from people is similar to throwing a silent bomb on them. This bomb is silent, but it is fatal & quot;. He pointed out that the Israeli attacks on the water structure in Gaza reduced the per capita water per day to only 5 liters, which is & quot; insufficient to a normal life & quot;
