Doctors Without Borders: Israel actually prohibits water access in the Gaza Strip – the seventh day

MSF stated today, Wednesday, that Israel is already prohibiting access to water in the Gaza Strip, by cutting electricity and fuel, calling for allowing the passage of humanitarian aid to the Palestinians to avoid more loss of life.

“With the new attacks that resulted in hundreds of deaths in a few days, the Israeli forces continue to deny the residents of Gaza of water by stopping electricity and preventing fuel entry,” the new attacks that resulted in the hundreds of deaths in a few days, the Israeli forces continue to deny the residents of Gaza of water by stopping electricity and preventing fuel entry, “according to the Palestinian News Agency” Wafa “.

Navarro added that the suffering of the Palestinians of Gaza is exacerbated by “the water crisis, as many of them are forced to drink unusable water, while others completely lack it.”

In turn, the coordinator of the medical team of the organization in Gaza Kiara Lodi indicated that the skin diseases suffered by children “a direct result of the destruction of Gaza and the Israeli siege imposed on it.”

She said: “Our crew treats an increasing number of children with skin diseases such as scabies, which causes great suffering, and in severe cases leads to scratching the skin until it bleeds.”

“Lodi” attributed the injury of Palestinian children by scabies to “their inability to shower.”

“Doctors Without Borders” indicated that “jaundice, diarrhea and scabies” are among the most treated cases in Khan Yunis (south), which is the result of a lack of safe water supply.

The organization warned, that the escalation of fuel in the sector would cause “the collapse of the remaining water system completely, which would cut people’s access to water.”
The occupation authorities have continued to prevent fuel from entering their strict siege and closing them to the crossings in front of humanitarian, relief, medical and goods aid since March 2.

The organization renewed its call to Israel to lift its “inhuman -imposed siege on the Gaza Strip and comply with international humanitarian law and its duties as an occupying power.”
She called for “an immediate restoration of the truce and allowing the passage of electricity and humanitarian aid to Gaza, including fuel and water supplies, to avoid more loss of life.”
