Gaza Accuses Israel Of Cutting Water Supply Following Power Shutdown

-

 

The Deir al-Balah municipality reports that key desalination facilities have completely shut down due to Israel's power cutoff, raising fears of worsening humanitarian conditions.

After the cessation of humanitarian aid, Arab reports claim today (Monday) that Israel has begun to partially cut off the water supply from the Gaza Strip. The disconnection is carried out by cutting off the electricity to desalination plants in the Gaza Strip.

The mayor of Deir al-Balah confirmed in an interview with Al-Jazeera that the two main desalination plants have stopped operating due to the disconnection of electricity from Israel.

In an interview with Al Jazeera, the director general of planning, water and sanitation in the Gaza Municipality, Maher Ashur Salem, said that the amount of water currently available in the Gaza Strip does not exceed 25% of the natural amounts, and that more than 70% of it has been lost as a result of the destruction of supply lines, following Israel's decision to cut off aid and threaten to cut off the water.

Salem added that the situation could become more dangerous if Israel cuts off Mekorot's water, which he claims supplies about 80 percent of the water currently available in the Gaza Strip. At the same time, Al-Aqsa TV reported that 31 sick and wounded people in the Gaza Strip were on their way to the Rafah crossing in order to leave the Gaza Strip for treatment abroad.

Petrol: Motorists Lament Filling Stations Fleecing Nigerians With ‘rigged’ Pumps - Politics

Nigerians, especially motorists or vehicle owners, heaved a sigh of relief when the Nigeria National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) announced reduction in fuel price from N1,060 to N965 across all its retail stations nationwide. Also, the Dangote Group through its Refinery reduced its price per litre to N899 reaching out to Nigerians through the MRS filling stations[/b]. But what literally should be a source of joy has become an avenue for fuel stations to cheat, shortchange, and fleece motorists and Nigerians of their hard-earned money by dispensing less quality fuel which blows out easily in a very short time. In Abuja, commercial drivers are complaining bitterly of not meeting their daily target anymore apparently because of the shenanigans of the fuel stations through their attendants. Some drivers who spoke with Nigerian Tribune expressed disappointment in quality of fuel being sold, the price, and the tampering of the meters by the attendants who have the backing of their mana...
