6 Jul 2026\u00a0<\/em>–\u00a0As Gaza<\/a> is gripped by a water<\/a> crisis, Israel has reportedly attacked a facility that provided safe drinking water to thousands of families in Gaza<\/a> City.<\/p>\n

Tamer Nahed, a journalist and activist with the recently created humanitarian group Sake For Gaza<\/a>, reported<\/a> via social media<\/a> on Monday that his group had been forced to suspend its efforts to provide clean water to some of Gaza\u2019s most dangerous areas after the facility they partnered with was \u201cdirectly struck, resulting in the deaths of several people and injuries to others working there.\u201d<\/p>\n

Middle East Eye<\/a> reported on Monday that the attack, east of Gaza City, \u201cstruck a gathering of displaced people in front of a water refilling station\u201d and killed two people as Israel shelled the city early on Monday.<\/p>\n

The Palestinian outlet Al-Quds<\/a> said the attack \u201cdirectly targeted civilians as they stood in front of a water filling station\u201d in the Al-Samar area, and was \u201cpart of a series of attacks launched by the occupation forces against civilian gatherings and vital facilities in the besieged areas of the Gaza Strip, exacerbating the already deteriorating humanitarian crisis.\u201d<\/p>\n
