Water crisis in Rafah

Rafah has become a disaster area and lost 40 percent of its water resources due to the ongoing Israeli attacks since May 2024, Rafah Mayor Ahmed al-Sufi said in a statement on Monday. Israel continues to target and destroy civilian infrastructure, including water facilities, cultural centers, libraries and parks, he added. “35 percent of the city has been completely destroyed by the Israeli troops. Israeli attacks constitute a crime against humanity. The Israeli troops destroyed not only the tank but also a water well in the Tal as-Sultan neighbourhood, west of Rafah. The destruction exacerbated the water crisis in the southern city.”
