One of the most difficult things to suffer is not to find water that you and your children drink. It is the problem of drinking water in the besieged Gaza Strip for more than 12 years. Water is unsafe for drinking in Gaza. Water pollution reached  98%, the water that the citizens get doesn’t meet the global health standards for drinking water.

The Gaza Strip – Palestine, which has a population of more than 2 million, is on the verge of a water and environmental disaster. Salinity in the water is constantly rising, water is no longer suitable for human use, and there are no solutions under the siege.

The problem of water in the Gaza Strip has worsened. Experts in the field of water have agreed that the Gaza Strip will not have access to potable water in the near future due to the pollution that reached 98%.

According to recent Water Authority reports, water pollution in the Gaza Strip is mainly due to the high salt content and nitrates, which have negative effects on human health, especially children and pregnant women, because salts produce many diseases, especially kidney and urinary tract diseases.
