Gaza (Quds News Network)- At least ten people, mostly children, were killed and others injured in an Israeli strike that targeted civilians queuing for drinking water in central Gaza on Sunday morning.
Local and medical sources said at least 10 thirsty people were killed, including 6 children, and 16 others injured after an Israeli strike targeting a water distribution point in al-Nuseirat camp.
Chronic shortages of water in Gaza are worsening as Israel’s expanding its assault and desalination and hygiene plants are running out of fuel.
The UN has said its partners are warning that, without immediate fuel deliveries, a full shutdown of water and sanitation facilities is possible.
Days after Israel imposed its blockade on aid in early March, it also cut off power lines to the main desalination plants, a vital source of water for Gazans.
Israel has intensified its attacks on shelters of displaced families, civilian gatherings, and food distribution points.
