WATER SUPPLY RESTORED BACK TO SOUTHERN GAZA

WATER SUPPLY RESTORED BACK TO SOUTHERN GAZA



BY JENNIFER NWOSU 

Israel has resumed water supply to southern Gaza. Energy minister, Israel Katz, said on Sunday,that as many as one million people have evacuated the north of the Strip to escape a massive air assault.

“This will push the civilian population to the southern (part of the) Strip,” Katz said in a statement, a week after Israel had stopped supplying water to the entire territory as part of a “complete siege” on the Palestinian enclave.

He said the decision to resume the supply was taken after talks between Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and US President Joe Biden.

US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan earlier said that Israel told him it had turned the water supply back on in southern Gaza.

An estimated one million people have been displaced in the first seven days of the conflict in Gaza, the United Nations agency supporting Palestinian refugees said Sunday.

The number is likely to be higher as people continue to leave their homes, UNRWA director of communications Juliette Touma has said.
