Facial Resistance Thirst: Water Truck In War Pustošen Gazi

Our camera was accompanied by Alluush on a recent hard mission to provide a little water to the inhabitants of Jabalia. UN News The correspondent filled allouh in the Bibalian plant desalination, where he spends hours waiting for water.

Like everywhere else in Gaza, the desalinization plant is overcrowded. As Gaza is running out of fuel, Aluush explained UN news That is required for 35 to 40 liters of diesel every hour for the plant only.

Hours spent waiting

In the plant, Ibrahim must be patient: “We are coming to plant desalination and wait for about five hours to get our turn. Prices are very high due to the cost of production if they do not line up organizations, institutions or initiatives.

“The cost of a cubic meter is very high for how expensive diesel, what is needed to manage generators. One cubic meter of water can cost between 90 to 100 shekel, this is about 20 Jordan dinars.”

Gaz residents are renewed near a water truck to fulfill their jugs.

After completing the task, Ibrahim Allourh enters his old truck, he starts his engine and moves on a challenging journey through the devastated Jabalia neighborhoods.

For Alluush, the fight does not stop in a watercourse. Driving through gauze is not easy, navigation of destroyed streets and surrounded by ruins, Aluush should come to people who wait – waiting for water.

They always wait for them people. It is almost impossible for trucks to achieve certain areas, if that is not for Mr. Alluush, these areas basically lacked any offer.

There is no life without water

“We suffer from the main water crisis,” Gaza Kamal residence, says no news. While some can wait half a day to fill five or ten liters of water only, others may not be able to get water because they were too far in order.

“No water, no life … We are waiting for drinking water to come from distant areas, and people shot to get your share,” says Fathi Al-Kahlout, and the UN’s late news while filling his bucket.

“The blockade caused us a lot of problems. We hope that the world will look at us, as well as one day, as it looks at another country. Everyone in other countries live in comfort. Why are we doomed to this fate?” He asked the pildered of the Badra, explaining the News of the UN that his children spend their days back and back in search of water.

Two children get water from the truck.

Worsening the water crisis

The continuous closure of border crossings and the ban on fuel intake is paralyzing the desalination plant, closing the main water supply systems also led to a sharp reduction in the amount of drinking water available to the inhabitants in Gaza. Water crisis is a deterioration, warns children’s fund UNICEF.

After the collapse of truce, the correctional work started on vital wells and water points came to the total stopping, leaving many water sources or at risk of further damage.

According to UNICEF about a million people – including 400,000 children – currently receives daily six-day meals per person, and a hinge decline from the previous average of 16 liters.

If the fuel is expelled, UNICEF has warned that this amount could fall into less than four liters per day in the coming weeks, forcing families to rely on uncertain sources, especially increasing the risk of disease outbreaks, especially among children.
