The UN says it is concerned by the risk of an outbreak of waterborne diseases in Gaza.
“Concerns over dehydration and waterborne diseases are high given the collapse of water and sanitation services, including today’s shutdown of Gaza’s last functioning seawater desalination plant,” the United Nations Agency for Palestinian Refugees (UNRWA) said in a statement.
It said parts of southern Gaza received water for three hours on Tuesday, adding that only 14 percent of the population in the Strip benefitted from it.
