An UNRWA spokesperson
emphasized that the international response to the humanitarian crisis in the
sector falls far short of expectations, but there are signs of a belated shift
in the international community’s tone.
According to the agency’s report, UNRWA continues to operate
wells in Khan Yunis and Rafah to provide potable water for drinking and
household use. Water truck transport to shelters in Rafah and Khan Yunis is
ongoing.
The report by UNRWA highlighted that the provided water is
insufficient to meet personal consumption needs according to WHO standards. It
further noted that supplying water through desalination plants or truck
transport requires fuel, which has significantly decreased.
