During the 16-month war of extermination in Gaza, the Israeli army destroyed most of the water and sewage networks in the Strip, leading to catastrophic health conditions.

Clemence Laguarda, the humanitarian coordinator for Oxfam International, a British-based non-governmental organization, in the Gaza Strip, said in a statement that Israel destroyed 1,650 kilometers of water and sewage networks, 80% of which are in the Gaza Strip.

She pointed out that this led to catastrophic health conditions, while residents in northern Gaza and in the city of Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip live on only 5.7 liters of water per day, which is less than 7% of pre-war rates.

“This is barely enough to flush a toilet,” Laguarda said. Oxfam said it looked forward to the ceasefire continuing and the flow of fuel and aid so Palestinians can rebuild their lives.

Oxfam confirmed that the destruction of these vital facilities has led to catastrophic health and medical conditions in the Strip, which threatens a worsening humanitarian crisis that threatens the lives of the population, especially with the scarcity of potable water and environmental pollution.

In the same context, the Regional Director of the United Nations Population Fund for Arab States, Laila Baker, said that the level of destruction due to the war on Gaza is as far as the eye can see.

Bakr called for improving living conditions to help the people of Gaza rebuild and rebuild their normal lives.

She pointed out that people's connection to the land is still strong, despite the amount of rubble and debris and the crowding of people in places unfit for living.

An assessment issued by the United Nations, the European Union and the World Bank showed that rebuilding Gaza and the West Bank requires $53.2 billion over the next ten years, including $20 billion in the first three years.

According to a recent UN report, Gaza is experiencing an unprecedented devastation crisis, with estimates that removing the 40 to 50 million tons of debris and rubble from the conflict and restoring services to normal will take years of hard work.
