The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) described the dire situation of people trying to access water in the besieged coastal enclave, Al Jazeera reports.

“Every morning people in the Gaza Strip queue for hours under the burning sun to fill bottles and jerrycans with drinking water,” it said.

“Then many of them have to walk long distances carrying heavy weights in the summer heat. This exhausting routine repeats again and again in Gaza.”
