Tens of thousands drinking salty, contaminated water: Report

An internal US State Department document has provided details on the tens of thousands of people in Gaza drinking salty and contaminated water, the Israeli newspaper Haaretz reported.

The State Department reportedly found that some 52,000 pregnant women and more than 30,000 babies below six months of age have been forced to drink salty or contaminated water in Gaza, Haaretz reported.

Israel has cut off vital services needed for the people of Gaza to access water, including electricity and fuel needed for desalination and to operate water pumps.

Water shortages are causing the threat of infectious diseases, health workers have warned.

UN says at least 33 aid trucks entered Gaza on Sunday

The UN’s humanitarian organisation, OCHA, has announced that 33 trucks carrying water, food and medical supplies entered Gaza on Sunday through the Rafah border crossing with Egypt.

“This is the largest delivery of humanitarian aid since 21 October, when limited deliveries resumed,” OCHA said early on Monday.

No fuel deliveries, however, have been made despite pleas from hospitals, which have been mostly operating on power generators after electricity to the territory was cut down by Israel.

To date, 117 trucks have entered Gaza through the crossing since limited deliveries resumed to the crowded Palestinian territory of more than 2.3 million people, according to the AFP news agency.

Before the siege, some 500 trucks carrying aid and other goods entered Gaza every day.

RIA said the identity of 150 of what it called the most active protesters had been identified.
