Israel has destroyed almost all infrastructure meant to provide access to clean water in Gaza

Israel turned Gaza into a testing lab for enforced starvation and dehydration
One of the displaced people we spoke to in Gaza City told us that it seemed like Israel turned Gaza into a testing lab. It not only keeps dropping bombs on civilians and displaced people, but it is also testing how far it can push people when it comes to starvation and dehydration.
The fact that we haven’t seen for the past 62 days any food, water or medicine allowed into Gaza is an indication that the Strip has for real turned into a testing lab for enforced starvation and dehydration.
Due to the Israeli blockade, 3,000 aid trucks are stuck at the border, just a 30-minute drive away from where I am standing right now.
On the right side of me, there is a displacement camp. Its coordinator has received news from a local community kitchen that provided them meals in the past days. The kitchen said it would be very difficult to provide them with any meals as of today. Many of these people here, if not all of them, are going to go through today without any food.
This is the story across Gaza, where many of the community kitchens are shutting down.
