Israeli occupation forces target 112 water filling stations; destroys 720 wells in Gaza

Gaza, July 14 (Petra) – The Government Media Office in Gaza accused the Israeli occupation of orchestrating a systematic campaign to deprive civilians of water, targeting more than 112 water filling stations and destroying 720 wells.

The Israeli violations have left over 1.25 million Palestinians without access to clean water, according to a statement the Office issued on Monday, emphasising that the Israeli occupation forces deliberately targeted civilians at water queues.

The most recent Israeli attack was a in northwest of the Nuseirat refugee camp, which killed 12 people, including eight children.

The blocking of fuel supplies necessary for operating water and sanitation wells has worsened health and environmental crises across the region.

The statement condemned the Israeli actions as clear violations of international law and human rights.

It called on the international community to take urgent action to halt what it described as a “war of deprivation,” ensure access to water and fuel for the affected population and launch an international investigation to hold those responsible accountable.
