UN Warns: Israel Cuts Water to 1 Million in Gaza for Second Day
The United Nations has raised alarms over Israel's continued reduction of water supplies to the Gaza Strip, a move now affecting an estimated one million people for a second consecutive day [1][2].
A UN spokesperson stated that water delivered by truck from other sources is only partially offsetting the shortfall, and is not enough to meet the population’s daily needs [1][2]. The agency described the situation as “worrying,” noting that the reduced flow has not been fully restored [1][2].
The warning highlights the growing humanitarian strain in the region, where basic services remain fragile [1]. Israeli authorities have not yet commented on the duration of the reduction or the reason behind the continued cut [1][2]. The UN has called for immediate restoration of full water access to prevent a broader health crisis [1].
