Oct 13, 2023

Gaza [Palestine], October 13: The UN agency for Palestine refugees (UNRWA) is warning of a water crisis in the Gaza Strip, which is under a sixth day of heavy Israeli bombardment in response to an unprecedented attack by Hamas militants.
"Shelters are overcrowded and have limited availability of food, non-food items and potable water," the UNRWA said in statement.
"A water crisis is looming in UNRWA emergency shelters and across the Gaza Strip due to damaged infrastructure, lack of electricity needed to operate pumps and desalination plants, and limited supply of water in the local market," it added. (DPA)
