Gaza Clean Water

In Gaza, families are not just going without clean water; they are being forced to drink water that is actively making them sick.

Water That Harms the People Who Drink It A child in Gaza is not just thirsty; they are likely getting sicker with every single sip.

Even before the current conflict, Gaza's water supply was under immense strain. Decades of over-extraction had caused seawater to seep deep into the coastal aquifer, leaving the groundwater heavily contaminated with salt. Today, with 89% of Gaza's water infrastructure damaged or destroyed, the situation is catastrophic.

Families with no other choice are drinking directly from polluted wells and damaged sources. The water is salty, contaminated, and wholly unfit to drink. For young children, pregnant women, and the elderly, the toll is devastating. Drinking high-salinity water causes dehydration and kidney damage, conditions that are dangerous at the best of times, but life-threatening when there are barely any functioning medical facilities left.

The Scale of Gaza's Water Crisis

89% of Gaza's water infrastructure has been damaged or destroyed.

90% of the population is currently displaced, living in tents and temporary shelters.

Thousands of people are forced to rely on dirty wells and polluted water sources every day.

Waterborne disease is spreading rapidly across overcrowded displacement sites.

Clean water is not a comfort in Gaza right now. It is survival.
