Doctors Without Borders in #Gaza: Water supplies at risk amid infrastructure destruction

If Doctors Without Borders and other NGOs are forced to stop water activities in #Gaza, hundreds of thousands of people will lose access to drinking water. Water is critically limited as Israel has destroyed and restricted access to water infrastructure. Our teams currently provide one in four people with drinking water through production and trucking. As of the Dec. 31, 2025, our registration in Israel expired and we will have to cease operations in #Palestine by March 1. Watch Paula Navaro, our Water and Sanitation Coordinator, update on the water crisis. Content accurate as of Feb. 5, 2026. Given evolving administrative and access conditions in Gaza/West Bank, MSF’s registration and operational context may change. This content reflects the most current information available at the time of publication.
