People turn to ‘dirty sea water’ due to lack of clean water in Gaza: UN

The UN is warning that displaced families are being forced to use “dirty sea water” for their daily needs due to a lack of clean water access as Israeli forces destroy essential infrastructure and keep Gaza’s borders closed to vital humanitarian relief.

The UNRWA agency for Palestinian refugees, said access to clean water is critical for the health and “survival of hundreds of thousands across the Gaza Strip”. “Increasing heat & lack of hygiene are making an already dire situation far worse,” the UNRWA said on social media, alongside video of children collecting water from the sea on Gaza’s coastline.

Many displaced families in #Gaza are forced to rely on dirty sea water for their daily needs.

Sad footage. Maybe the aid pier can help? 

I was naive to believe that Biden's "aid pier" was just a cynical fake humanitarian PR stunt. Turns out those who suspected even more sinister motives were right: https://t.co/QEFKpYbiNB
