'Chivalrous Knight 3' signs MoU to drill,equip water wells in Gaza
The initiative is part of broader efforts to improve infrastructure and ensure access to clean water amid the severe crisis and hardships faced by residents.
The project aims to provide potable water across various regions of the Gaza Strip, helping to alleviate the growing water crisis. This phase will involve drilling advanced, high-capacity wells, following two earlier stages, the first of which strengthened water supply lines from Egypt via a transmission pipeline to Rafah, and the second focused on primitive wells using the hand pump system.
Sharif Al-Nairab, Media Director for Operation Chivalrous Knight 3 in Gaza, emphasised that the operation continues to implement humanitarian projects to ease daily hardships for Gaza's population.
He also underscored the operation's strong focus on the water crisis, which threatens 1.5 million residents, by supporting infrastructure and providing safe, usable water sources.
Omar Shatat, Deputy Director-General of the Coastal Municipalities Water Utility, noted that the UAE has been among the first responders to assist Gaza's residents through Operation Chivalrous Knight 3. Since day one of the crisis, the UAE has launched a range of vital projects, particularly in the water sector.
He confirmed that the current phase involves drilling two new wells in Deir al-Balah and Khan Younis, expected to meet the water needs of approximately 10,000 people, a significant step in addressing the worsening water shortage.
This initiative represents another important milestone in the series of humanitarian interventions by Operation Chivalrous Knight 3, which aims to mitigate the suffering of Gaza's population and provide critical resources, especially in the face of severe challenges in the water sector.
