UN Special Rapporteur on rights to water and sanitation: Each individual in Gaza receives only around 4.7 liters of water per day

 

NEW YORK, September 16, 2024 (WAFA) - The UN Special Rapporteur on the human rights to safe drinking water and sanitation, Pedro Arrojo-Agudos, said that each individual in the Gaza Strip receives only around 4.7 liters of water per day.

In a press statement on Monday, Agudos noted that Israel is preventing the entry of approximately 70% of the materials required to purify water in Gaza, emphasizing that water pollution in the region is "a silent bomb," with consequences more severe than the destruction of buildings.
