In the Gaza Strip, hundreds of thousands of residents have no toilets, electricity or drinking water. The situation is also critical in hospitals.

For now, they have survived the bombings, but they live in tents, amid rubbish, dirt and human waste. In the Gaza Strip, there are hundreds of thousands without toilets, electricity or drinking water. A few tanks have been installed, but there is on average less than two liters per day per person for everything: washing, cooking, drinking. That is ten times less than what Unicef ​​considers necessary to survive.

A dilemma between thirst and hunger

Often there is an insoluble dilemma between thirst and hunger. According to the UN, half of the population, or one million people, suffer from extreme or severe hunger. In hospitals too, the situation is critical. WHO staff were able to travel to northern Gaza to deliver medicines. Treatments are carried out on the ground. According to Hamas, at least 20,000 people have lost their lives in Gaza since the start of the conflict.
