UAE to drill potable water wells in Gaza
The UAE's 'Operation Chivalrous Knight 3' is partnering with Palestine's Coastal Municipalities Water Utility to provide access to clean drinking water to the Gaza Strip.
It will involve the drilling of two advanced, high-capacity wells in Deir al-Balah and Khan Younis to alleviate the growing water crisis.
Omar Shatat, Deputy Director-General of the Coastal Municipalities Water Utility, said the wells are expected to meet the water needs of approximately 10,000 people.
The project will unfold in phases, with the first involving the strengthening of water supply lines from Egypt via a transmission pipeline to Rafah, and the second focusing on primitive wells using the hand pump system.
With 1.5 million people in Gaza threatened by the water shortage, 'Operation Chivalrous Knight 3' has focused on supporting several projects that ensure those impacted by the devastating conflict have access to clean drinking water.
