In a statement, the Municipality of Gaza (MoG) has expressed its profound concerns over the halt of the essential services, top of which is water supply, in light of the depletion of fuel.
Hereby, the Municipality of Gaza earnestly communicates the following:
• MoG expresses its grievance over the failures recorded by the United Nations agencies, the UNICEF in particular, in delivering the required fuel quantities to the municipalities in the Gaza and North governorates since the 1st of November, including the days of the temporary pause.
• MoG announces the full stoppage of the basic services and the emergency-response services due to the lack of fuel.
• MoG is concerned over the halt of water wells, profoundly expecting the stoppage of water supplies within very limited hours.
• MoG appeals to all international humanitarian organizations to immediately intervene to deliver the quantities of fuel required to let the municipalities provide the basis services, guaranteed by the international humanitarian law.
• MoG is deeply concerned over the implications arising from the spread of diseases and health issues, due to the accumulation of huge quantities of household solid waste in the temporary sub-stations and streets, in addition to the leakage of untreated wastewater into the sea and water pools, which are not designated to keep wastewater inside.
