Due to aquifer depletion, municipal water pumped from wells and distributed through the network is saline and not potableThe population in Gaza depends on desalination plants to access potable water. Over 90% of water from the Coastal Aquifer is unfit for human consumption
LIMITED WATER & WASTEWATER SERVICES IN GAZA BEFORE 8 JULY 2014
90 million litres untreated sewage flow into the Mediterranean per day due to entry restrictions of building material and fuel
Data represented in this info graphic is based on information from the Situation Reports of the UN-led Water, Sanitation and Hygiene Cluster. This info graphic was prepared by the EWASH Advocacy Task Force.
7
water technicians killed on duty. Gaza’s water utility company suspended operation due to increased security risk
20 mio $
is the cost of repairing the damage to the water and sanitation system and 5 million $ for immediate relief needs
Lice, scabies & diarrhoea
have been reported mostly amongst children and in shelters
16%
of electricity demand is available after Gaza’s sole power plant was hit on 29 July
44%
of Gaza declared as no-go area during hostilities, causing lack of access to operate, maintain and repair water infrastructure
90%
of wells, waste water treatment plants and desalination plants cannot operate due to power cuts and lack of fuel
