The authors assess that 52,000 pregnant women and more than 30,000 babies under six months of age are currently drinking brackish or contaminated water due to the absence of drinking water or the electricity needed to power the water infrastructure. This exposes them to health complications that could be life-threatening.
Sources tell Haaretz that as of Friday morning, the American government has not yet accepted or rejected the recommendations. The document suggests the United States pressure Israel to renew water supply at full capacity to two additional pipes, in addition to the single pipe already running for the last two weeks at the American administration’s demand.
The State Department’s recommendation document states that displaced persons staying in shelters have access to about half a liter of clean water per person per day. According to the United Nations and Oxfam, all Gaza residents have daily access to an estimated average of three liters of clean water per capita for all domestic needs, compared with the World Health Organization’s emergency minimum recommended amount of 15 liters.
Amidst the debate over the credibility of the Palestinian Health Ministry’s casualty reports, the State Department’s document’s authors seem careful not to refer to the estimated toll of deaths, injuries, and missing persons buried under the rubble.
They also do not relate to the bombings and the infrastructure destruction they cause. In line with U.S. support for the continued Israeli bombing of the Gaza Strip, the authors’ concern about the worsening water crisis appears to be detached from the broader context causing this shortage.

I wonder when Jews will get to realizing that the Zionist project is some white supremacist shyt which only serves the interests of Europe/America which prolly doesn’t give that much of a fukk about antisemitism given how they egg the Zionist regime on which tends to increase racism against the people they claim to 100% represent.
