This kind of massive destruction of water infrastructure, it does not just affect the water supply. It also leads to diseases. So by the summer of last year, we know that about 600,000 cases of acute diarrhea were reported and 40,000 cases of hepatitis A. And those are diseases that come from contamination of water and from having an open sewage system.

For most of the war, people were getting somewhere near three liters of water a day, which is like so little. And that was for cooking, for hygiene, for drinking. After the ceasefire in January, some people in Gaza were starting to get around seven to 10 liters a day. So a little bit better.
