IICO launches water project for displaced families in Gaza
These tankers transport clean water from desalination plants to more than 200 camps and residential areas, with quantities tailored to the specific needs of each location. 'This project addresses one of the most urgent humanitarian needs as Gaza continues to face severe water shortages and a collapsing water infrastructure,' the statement said. 'Displaced individuals, many of whom are crammed into overcrowded shelters, are forced to wait in long lines for limited amounts of water, which often fall short of meeting their daily requirements.'

'Access to clean water is a basic human right and essential to preserving life and well-being, especially for vulnerable groups such as women, children, and the elderly,' the statement added. The IICO reaffirmed its commitment to supporting the people of Gaza and pledged to continue implementing projects that address urgent humanitarian needs in the region. — KUNA
