GAZA (Palestine Foundation Information Center) The Gaza Municipality warned about the dangers of halting energy and fuel supplies due to the continued Israeli closure of crossings and stopping the entry of essential energy and fuel sources for operating basic services and facilities.
It also highlighted the Israeli threat to stop pumping water, stating that the continuation of these arbitrary measures threatens to exacerbate the situation and cut off means of life and water in the city.
In a statement on Sunday, the municipality said that the cessation of energy sources threatens a major paralysis in operating water and sewage facilities and other services, which increases the magnitude of the humanitarian and health disaster that the city is experiencing due to the Israeli measures and aggression.
It pointed out that the Israeli Mekorot water company line currently supplies the city with about 70% of its daily needs, and if water from this line stops, it could lead to severe water scarcity in the city, threatening human life, deteriorating public health, and spreading diseases.
The municipality called on international organizations for urgent intervention to save human life in the city and to pressure Israel to respect international laws and conventions and to provide energy and water sources without any obstacles.
On March 2, the Israeli occupation forces closed the Gaza Strip crossings, preventing the entry of goods and aid, and cut off power supplies as part of a war of starvation against Palestinians.
