How Israel Uses Water as a Weapon

Fact

In the last two weeks, even as Palestinians face the deadly coronavirus, as Palestinians are forced to survive on the minimal amount of water that Israel allows them, and overcrowded hospitals in the Gaza Strip do not have enough water for handwashing and sanitizing—

• Israel killed one young Palestinian and injured 200 others, including 20 children.

• Israel carried out 78 search and arrest operations across the West Bank, and arrested 110 Palestinians, including 16 children.

• Israel demolished or seized 14 Palestinian-owned structures, displacing and affecting 89 people, and bulldozed a section of a dirt road connecting five herding communities (700 people) to their main service center.
