97% Drop in Water Supply — Gaza Families Now Spending 5 Hours a Day Just to Find Clean Drinking Water

In the al-Mawasi camp near Khan Younis, displaced families are walking kilometres and waiting hours under intense heat just to collect drinking water — a daily ordeal that can take up to five hours. The crisis deepened after a key water supplier halted operations due to lack of funding, cutting off regular deliveries across Gaza. Palestinian authorities and UN experts say the destruction of civilian infrastructure has damaged around 65% of water wells in some areas, while restrictions on fuel and repair equipment have made it nearly impossible to restore supply. Overall water availability in Gaza has fallen by as much as 97% compared to pre-war levels. Families are rationing water daily. Some are resorting to salty or contaminated sources. UN experts say this has gone beyond a humanitarian emergency — it is now a matter of life and death. With summer approaching and infrastructure still damaged, conditions could deteriorate further.
