Relentless heat worsens Gaza's ongoing struggle to access water

The war with Israel has destroyed critical water and sanitation infrastructure, and as temperatures soar, the extreme heat is escalating an already severe shortage into a deadly humanitarian crisis. Two and a half years of war with Israel have damaged or destroyed nearly 90% of Gaza’s water and sanitation infrastructure according to UNICEF.
