Desalination plants in Gaza have been shut down due to a lack of fuel to run generators, leaving Palestinians with little water to survive, the UN agency for Palestinian refugees, Unrwa, said on Tuesday.
"Survival is a struggle. Families and children walk long distances in the heat for water," Unrwa said on X, formerly Twitter.
"People need water to live - Israeli authorities must provide access NOW."
