The Union of Municipalities of Gaza has put out a statement on the electricity and water situation in the coastal enclave, Al Jazeera reports. Here are some of its key points:

  • It emphasises the need for a continuous supply of water and electricity, especially after the central desalination plant was shut down.
  • The union condemns the Israeli decision to cut off electricity, which has disrupted essential services and threatens the spread of disease.
  • It calls on the international community and humanitarian organisations to intervene immediately to secure essential supplies.
