Water crisis in Rafah

Israel continues to target and destroy civilian infrastructure, including water facilities, cultural centers, libraries and parks, he added. “35 percent of the city has been completely destroyed by the Israeli troops.

The destruction exacerbated the water crisis in the southern city.”
