Al Jazeera reports that an Israeli attack has hit a water distribution centre in Gaza’s Nuseirat area, killing at least 10 people.

Water supplies have been cut to most of Gaza City. The municipality says dangerous conditions mean it can’t get to water mains or wells.

Tens of thousands of people are without access to any water.

“We wait at the water plant for at least four hours because production is so slow. Whatever we get, we hand out at displacement camps. As you know, they’re overwhelmed,” Ahmed Abed said. “People line up for hours from dawn, but many leave empty-handed.”

Al Jazeera’s Ibrahim al-Khalili, reporting from Gaza City, says: “Soon, even this may not be possible. Israel has blocked almost all fuel deliveries from entering Gaza since March 2. The shortage is threatening to halt operations at desalination plants, sewage treatment facilities and water delivery trucks.”
