Palestinians in Gaza protest water shortages amid ongoing Israeli curbs on aid

Palestinians in Gaza protest water shortages amid ongoing Israeli curbs on aid Palestinians in the Gaza Strip on Tuesday protested the deepening water crisis in the enclave, amid continued Israeli restrictions on essentials.  Last week, a Palestinian official warned that Israeli curbs were causing a “severe and alarming” drop in the number of aid trucks entering the territory. Israel has maintained a devastating military assault and blockade since 2023, severely restricting the entry of food, water, medicine and electricity.
