How Israel is weaponising water in Gaza | People & Power Documentary

The People & Power team travelled through Gaza just weeks before October 7, 2023 to document Israel's weaponising of water. The situation already seemed desperate back then.

As a ceasefire came into place in January this year, our team in Gaza went to look for the people they met 18 months earlier.

Most of Gaza's remaining water infrastructure has been damaged or destroyed. Israel's cutting of external water supplies and systematic destruction of water facilities have reduced the amount of water available to Palestinians in Gaza to as little as 2 litres per person a day. Water-borne diseases are running rampant through communities.

Thirst Among the Ruins tells the story of the systematic targeted obliteration of Gaza's water infrastructure by Israel, and how it violates international humanitarian law.
