Gaza is facing a severe water crisis exacerbated by a shortage of engine oil and other essential supplies needed to maintain its water infrastructure. Displaced families in Gaza rely heavily on water tankers and pumps, but many have stopped working due to lack of maintenance materials. According to the Gaza Water Authority, over 210 of the region’s 320 water wells have been destroyed by Israeli military operations, along with nearly 80% of desalination plants.

Contamination rates have also risen significantly, further endangering public health.
