Press Statement No. (789) Issued by the Government Media Office:
The Israeli occupation continues its systematic crime of thirsting over 2.4 million Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, turning water into a tool of genocide and a weapon of slow death.
In yet another addition to the series of organized crimes committed by the Israeli occupation against our people in Gaza, it continues to deliberately deprive the population of the minimum amount of water needed to survive. This is done by systematically targeting water infrastructure, halting supply lines, destroying water stations and wells, and cutting off electricity and fuel needed to operate water and sanitation facilities.
The occupation has deliberately shut down the “Mekorot” water lines east of Gaza City and in the central governorate, which together provide over 35,000 cubic meters of water daily to more than 700,000 residents. It also cut the power line supplying the desalination plant in Deir al-Balah, causing it to cease operations and putting the lives of around 800,000 people in the central and Khan Younis governorates at risk of severe dehydration.
As part of this systematic policy, occupation forces have destroyed over 90% of Gaza’s water and sanitation infrastructure, blocked technical crews from conducting repairs, targeted workers performing their humanitarian duties, and prevented fuel from entering to operate wells and desalination plants. This comes amid ongoing power outages, and deliberate attacks on water tanks, desalination plants, and wells, effectively turning water into a weapon of war and a method of mass slow killing.
Government teams and relevant authorities in Gaza have documented over 1.7 million water-related illness cases so far, including diarrhea, acute inflammatory intestinal diseases such as dysentery, and hepatitis A. Additionally, more than 50 people—most of them children—have died due to dehydration and malnutrition, amid disgraceful international inaction in the face of these horrific crimes.
We reiterate our warning of an imminent humanitarian and environmental disaster threatening the Gaza Strip, which has been under blockade for 18 years and facing continuous genocide for over 550 days. The deliberate deprivation of water by the occupation constitutes a war crime under the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court, an act of genocide according to reports by the UN’s international commission of inquiry, and a blatant violation of the provisional measures issued by the International Court of Justice, which called for ensuring unimpeded access to water and food for Gaza’s population.
We issue an urgent appeal to the international community and UN bodies to act immediately and effectively to stop the crime of enforced thirst, and to ensure the entry of fuel, equipment, and repair teams for water facilities.
We also call on the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court to issue new arrest warrants against the occupation leaders who continue to use water as a weapon of genocide in Gaza—particularly the current and former Israeli defense ministers.
We urge human rights and humanitarian organizations to formally declare Gaza an environmental disaster zone, press for the immediate opening of crossings, and ensure the supply of water and sanitation services.
These policies will not break the will of our Palestinian people, but they expose the brutal face of the occupation, document its crimes for the world, and stand as lasting evidence of the occupier’s cruelty and the troubling international silence that will not absolve anyone of responsibility.
We hold the Israeli occupation, the U.S. administration, and the countries complicit in the genocide—such as the United Kingdom, Germany, and France—fully responsible for the lives of more than 2.4 million people in Gaza, including over one million children. We affirm that using water as a weapon of death is a crime that will not expire with time.

Do you understand how this feels? Do you even understand what you’re seeing?
This is a father who lost his 6 sons in one strike, in just mere seconds he lost his 6 sons who he raised for years!
Israel killed six brothers from the Abu Mahadi family—Ahmad, Mahmoud, Mohammed, Mustafa, Zaki, and Abdullah—by bombing their vehicle as they traveled to aid displaced people through a charity. Their elderly father was left to pray over their bodies.
