UN Warns: Israel Cuts Water to 1 Million in Gaza for Second Day

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