Gaza Media: Enemy rages systematic thirsty war on Gaza
The government media office in Gaza confirmed on Monday that the Zionist enemy is waging a systematic war of deprivation of water in the Gaza Strip, committing 112 massacres against water filling lines, killing more than 700 people, the majority of whom are children.
In a press statement received by the Yemeni News Agency (Saba), he said, "In one of the most heinous crimes committed against humanity, the Israeli enemy continues to wage a systematic and deliberate war of deprivation against the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip, in flagrant violation of all international and humanitarian conventions, in which water is used as a weapon of collective war to exterminate the population and deprive them of their most basic rights."
Today, the media office published accurate statistics on the enemy's crimes, targeting (112) fresh water filling stations, committing massacres against hundreds of civilians in water filling lines, most of them children seeking drinking water. The most recent massacre occurred in the New Camp, northwest of the Nuseirat camp (central Gaza Strip), where the enemy killed 12 martyrs, including eight children.
The enemy also deliberately destroyed (720) water wells, putting them out of service, depriving more than a million and a quarter people of access to clean water. It also prevented the entry of 12 million liters of fuel per month, the minimum amount needed to operate the minimum number of water wells, sewage treatment plants, waste collection vehicles, and other vital sectors. This ban has caused a near-total paralysis of water and sewage networks and exacerbated the spread of epidemics, especially among children.
The Office stated that since January 23, 2025, the enemy has cut off the Mekorot water supply—the last major source of water supply to the Gaza Strip—exacerbating the tragedy of thirst and daily suffering.
It pointed out that on March 9, 2025, the enemy cut off the last power line supplying the last central desalination plant located south of Deir al-Balah (central Gaza Strip), halting the production of large quantities of drinking water and further exacerbating the stifling water crisis.
The Office stated that the Gaza Strip is today witnessing a major crime of deprivation of water, carried out deliberately and systematically by the Israeli enemy, amidst complete international silence and the direct and indirect participation of European and Western countries implicated in supporting or complicit in the crime of genocide. The clear components and elements of this crime are no longer hidden, most notably: starvation, deprivation of water, and deprivation of medicine, shelter, and water.
It stated that this racist policy constitutes a full-fledged war crime under the Geneva Conventions and a serious violation of international humanitarian law and human rights, for which the Israeli enemy authorities bear full responsibility. The Office held the states supporting and complicit in this genocide—primarily the United States, Germany, France, and the United Kingdom—legally and morally responsible for the continuation of this most serious humanitarian catastrophe in modern times.
The Office called on the international community, and all UN, human rights, and international legal institutions, to take urgent action to immediately halt the war of deprivation, ensure unhindered access to water for civilians, and pressure the enemy to bring in the fuel and equipment necessary to operate water wells and sewage treatment plants.
It also called for an urgent international investigation into the crime of deprivation of water, as it is part of the ongoing genocide against civilians in the Gaza Strip. It also called for the enemy to be held accountable before international courts for its crimes against defenseless civilians, and for its criminal leaders to be brought before international courts.
The Office stressed that "these complex crimes do not and will not be subject to a statute of limitations, and that the steadfast Palestinian people will remain committed to their right to a dignified life. We will continue to expose these crimes to the world until full justice is achieved."

Palestinian Freedom Movement considers continued settler attacks confirmation of Zionist enemy's terrorist approach
Gaza – Saba: The Palestinian Freedom Movement considered on Monday the continued attacks by Nazi settlers on towns and villages in the West Bank and al-Quds, the assaults on Palestinian citizens in al-Tira neighborhood and the towns of Ein Qiniya, Sinjil, Turmus Ayya, and Khirbet al-Tall, and the storming and complete destruction of the Ein Samiya wells east of al-Quds, as confirmation of the Zionist enemy's terrorist approach and its plans to eradicate the Palestinian land and people in the West Bank. In a statement, the movement affirmed: "What the Zionist settler gangs are doing to our people in the West Bank is an insistence on the systematic war of extermination against the Palestinian people and their places of residence, supported by the extremist government, in an attempt by this usurping occupier to break the will of our people and forcefully displace them from their land. The usurpers and their Nazi leaders have forgotten that the Palestinians are rooted in their land, no matter how great the challenges. Sacrifices." The movement called on "the Palestinian people in the valiant West Bank, Jerusalem, and the occupied territories to hold marches to denounce the crimes of the Zionist enemy, support the resistance, and engage with the enemy and its settlers at all points of contact and in various squares and fields. They called for escalating heroic operations and exacting a price from the Zionist enemy for its crimes against the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip, the occupied West Bank, and Jerusalem."
