Israel is denying Palestinians the right to access adequate water by maintaining total control over shared water resources and pursuing discriminatory policies.

While many Palestinians living in rural communities have no access to running water, Israeli settlements in the West Bank receive all the water they want, sometimes 10 times as much per capita as neighbouring Palestinian villages. Meanwhile in Gaza, which is isolated by the Israeli blockade, water and sanitation projects are halted because no materials for construction and maintenance are allowed in. Currently over 90% of tap water in Gaza is unfit for human consumption.

Send an appeal letter to the Israeli authorities now, calling for Palestinians to be granted their basic human rights to an equitable share of water.
