Gaza Municipality Appeals for Pipes to Maintain Water Distribution Networks

Gaza Municipality has issued an urgent appeal to obtain the materials needed to maintain water distribution networks in Gaza City, which have been significantly affected by ongoing Israeli aggression over the past year.

The municipality highlighted a severe shortage of essential pipes for water distribution network maintenance, particularly pipes with diameters of "2," "4," and "6" inches.

Israeli attacks on Gaza’s water distribution networks have led to widespread water outages across the city, the municipality explained. They are working to repair these damages to the best of their ability despite a severe lack of resources, especially the pipes critical to water distribution.

Gaza Municipality also noted the extensive damage to the water sector caused by a year of aggression. This includes the complete destruction of 105 kilometers of water distribution networks and 62 water wells—46 completely destroyed and 16 partially damaged. Additionally, four water tanks sustained partial damage, and the main desalination plant suffered substantial damage.

The municipality has issued multiple appeals to the international community and donors for urgent support in repairing Gaza’s water distribution networks, stressing the need for essential equipment and pipes to carry out these critical repairs.

Gaza Municipality also reported that two of its employees were martyred and three others injured last month when Israeli forces targeted them while they were operating the Safa water wells in eastern Gaza City. Despite limited resources and considerable risks, the municipality remains committed to providing essential services to residents, especially water supply services.
