Gaza Municipality: Severe Thirst Grips the City Amid Only 12% of Water Supply Being Delivered - Jordan News
The spokesperson for Gaza Municipality, Assem Al-Nabeeh, has warned of a looming 'health and environmental disaster' engulfing Gaza City due to a critical shortage in water supplies. The city is currently experiencing extreme thirst, with individuals receiving less than 5 liters of water per day for all purposes—including drinking, cooking, bathing, and hygiene—far below the international standard of at least 100 liters per person per day. اضافة اعلان In a statement to Al-Mamlaka TV, Al-Nabeeh said that only 12% of Gaza's daily water needs are being met, noting that most areas in the city are severely affected. He highlighted that eastern neighborhoods are suffering the most, as municipal teams are unable to access the control valves and distribution lines of the Mekorot water system, a main source of water for Gaza. He further explained that over 75% of the municipality's central wells are out of service, and more than 100,000 linear meters of water networks have been damaged. The municipality's capacity to respond to the crisis is extremely limited due to a severe lack of fuel, equipment, heavy machinery, and maintenance materials. Al-Nabeeh added that the desalination plant in the northwestern part of Gaza, which previously supplied more than 10% of the city's water, has completely ceased operations since the beginning of the aggression due to extensive damage, and no resources are available to repair or restart it. He stressed that the inability to access the Mekorot distribution lines in the eastern zone is preventing engineers from assessing or repairing the network, and called for immediate access for municipal teams to carry out critical maintenance. The water shortage has led to a surge in intestinal and skin diseases, particularly among children in shelter centers, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health. The municipality reiterated its urgent plea to allow the entry of sufficient fuel, maintenance materials, and equipment, and to enable technical teams to access vital facilities in order to mitigate the disaster and alleviate the suffering of the population.

Jordan Lifts Restrictions on Poultry Imports from Brazil - Jordan News
The Ministry of Agriculture has lifted the previously imposed restrictions on poultry meat imports from Brazil, following the clearance of avian influenza concerns, according to Musbah Al-Tarawneh, Assistant Secretary-General for Livestock Affairs at the ministry. اضافة اعلان In a statement to Al-Mamlaka on Wednesday, Al-Tarawneh explained that Jordan had imposed restrictions in June on Brazilian poultry imports after a case of avian influenza was detected. He noted that Jordan imports an average of 8,000 to 10,000 tons of frozen chicken annually from Brazil, with the majority being used in local restaurants. Al-Tarawneh emphasized that technical teams at the ministry are closely monitoring health developments in countries exporting animal products and affirmed that the ministry will not hesitate to take necessary decisions to protect public health and the agricultural sector. Back in mid-June, the Ministry of Agriculture had announced the suspension of imports of live poultry and untreated poultry products from Brazil due to confirmed cases of bird flu. The decision was taken as a precautionary measure in line with the ministry's policy of safeguarding animal wealth, public health, and food security in the Kingdom. At the time, the ministry had stated that the suspension would remain in effect until the epidemiological situation in Brazil improves, and verified reports are received from the World Organisation for Animal Health (WOAH) confirming the outbreak is under control and that Brazilian veterinary authorities are implementing appropriate preventive and monitoring measures. It is worth noting that Brazil exported $10 billion worth of chicken meat last year, accounting for about 35% of global poultry trade.
