The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) said that the pollution of drinking water in the Gaza Strip has reached alarming levels that harm the health of the population.

The United Nations added, in a post on the "X" platform, today, Wednesday, that recent monitoring of water quality in the Gaza Strip reveals alarming rates of pollution.

She explained that there is a UN mission in the displacement sites in Gaza City, and it found very poor conditions in terms of drinking water, sanitation and hygiene.
