Gaza’a Deir al-Balah records 85% water shortfall due to Israeli war, UNRWA says


Amman: The United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) announced on Monday that the water shortfall has reached 85 percent in Deir al-Balah in the central Gaza Strip, indicating that only 3 out of 18 water wells are functioning in the city due to the 11-month-long Israeli war.

“Not only are people in Gaza in constant fear for their lives, but they struggle to meet even their most basic needs. This is a complete dehumanization, and a never-ending tragedy,” UNRWA said in a post on its official X account.
