UN: Israel’s Gaza displacement orders block clean water access

The spokesperson for the UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres said on July 21st that Israel’s expulsion orders in Gaza are impacting healthy water facilities, according to Middle East Eye.

Spokesperson, Stephane Dujarric, said: “As you are well aware over the weekend, the Israeli military issued another displacement order in Deir al-Balah spanning four neighborhoods… [dealing] yet another devastating blow to the already fragile lifeline keeping people alive across the Gaza Strip.”

Dujarric raised the alarm on how displacement is obstructing water facilities. Dujarric explained that since July, 80% of “water sanitation and hygiene facilities” sit within Israeli militarised areas or locations under displacement directives.
