The World Bank reported that water resources in the West Bank and Gaza Strip are ‘getting dangerously scarce’.
Husam Abu Sa’da head of the Khan Younis agriculture governorate says that Israeli abuse of groundwater supplies has led to purer groundwater being replenished with sea water which is salty and damaging.
According to UN estimates 96 per cent of drinking water in Gaza is contaminated with sewage and sea water.
