Israel cutting off electricity will affect water supply

Al Jazeera’s Hind Khoudary warns that Israel’s cutting off electricity to the Gaza Strip will affect the enclave’s water supply.

“To clarify, there was already little electricity supplied to Gaza. The only thing that did receive electricity were the water desalination plants in the southern parts of the Gaza Strip,” she reports.

Khoudary adds that Palestinians in Gaza have been suffering from a lack of water.

“We know there is no fuel to fill up the generators to pump the water and there are no cooking gas cylinders as a substitute,” she reports.
