Palestinians carry water bottles they filled from a water distribution point in Khan Yunis, Gaza, Palestine on June 16, 2026. Residents rely on distribution points as the water crisis deepens due to severe infrastructure damage and continued Israeli restrictions.

Water crisis

Gaza's water infrastructure has been devastated by more than two years of war, with sewage systems destroyed and clean water scarce. The UN has warned of disease outbreaks amid the collapse of water and sanitation systems. Israel's blockade has restricted entry of equipment needed for repairs.

Humanitarian impact

Residents face daily struggles to secure clean water for drinking, cooking, and hygiene. The World Food Programme has warned that 1.6 million people in Gaza face severe food insecurity, with water scarcity compounding the humanitarian catastrophe.

Gaza war toll

Israel's war on Gaza since October 2023 has killed more than 72,000 Palestinians and destroyed about 90% of civilian infrastructure. Reconstruction costs are estimated at $70 billion.
