Al Jazeera’s Hani al-Shaer spoke to displaced Palestinians waiting for water in a queue in the southern city. One man appealed for international intervention.

“We stand in long queues for hours, hoping to get some clean water. My little girl and I are waiting in these long lines under the heat of the sun. We appeal to the whole world to help us at least get some clean water,” he said.

Another man said it was a struggle to find enough for his family. “We are really struggling beyond imagination to find some clean water. We walk long distances to find little, but it’s not sufficient for my family,” he said.
