We reported on the dire state of Gaza's sewage system and the huge lakes of untreated waste that can be seen from space. To add to the burdens faced by people to meet the needs of everyday life, Palestinians have to exist on access to only a quarter of the water available to Israelis. At least 150,000 Gazans have no access to tap water and many rely on infrequent lorry supplies.

"Water related humanitarian crisis are in fact chronic in Gaza and parts of the West Bank," says the report.
