RAMALLAH, September 30, 2025 (WAFA) – Repeated colonist attacks on water wells in the Ein Samia area, east of the town of Kafr Malik, northeast of Ramallah, on Tuesday evening have halted water flow from the main wells, threatening to deprive thousands of Palestinians in more than 19 residential communities of their basic right to water.

The Jerusalem Water Authority said in a statement that the latest attack involved cutting the control lines to wells 2, 4, and 6, causing them to shut down completely.

It stressed that its crews are working around the clock to repair the damage and resume water pumping as soon as possible, while renewing calls on official and international bodies to urgently intervene to stop these daily attacks and safeguard Palestinian’ access  to water as vital source of livelihood.

The authority pointed out that Ein Samia wells have been subjected to a series of repeated attacks over the past months, while its crews face significant challenges in reaching the wells to carry out maintenance. It warned that the ongoing assaults are deepening the water crisis and threatening the water security of dozens of Palestinian communities.
