The Palestinian Ministry of Health in the Gaza Strip stated today, Saturday, that all residents of the enclave are drinking unsafe water due to Israel’s refusal to allow materials for its treatment to enter.
In a statement, the ministry noted, “With the public health laboratory suspended and the inability to test drinking water, all citizens of the enclave are consuming unsafe water, endangering their lives.”
It explained that this is due to Israel’s refusal to allow the entry of “chlorine” (for disinfection) or any alternative to treat drinking water.
On the other hand, the ministry stated that Israeli occupation forces committed four massacres against families in the Gaza Strip on the 204th day of their aggression against Gaza, resulting in 32 martyrs and 69 injuries reaching hospitals in the past 24 hours.
In a statement issued on Saturday, it mentioned that there are still casualties under the rubble and on the roads, and ambulance and civil defense teams are unable to reach them.
It also revealed an increase in the toll of Israeli aggression to 34,388 martyrs and 77,437 injuries since October 7th last year.
