Israel Addresses Humanitarian Crisis in Gaza by Restarting Desalination Plant

The Israeli army has taken a crucial step to address the severe humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip by connecting a desalination plant to their electricity grid. This move comes after nearly nine months of offensive and siege against the enclave, responding to international requests. The aim is to make the plant operational, providing drinking water for hygiene and disease prevention, which could threaten soldiers and hostages.

Gaza residents reported that work has started in the Saladin Road area to restart the desalination plant. However, Israel’s Finance Minister, Bezalel Smotrich, has criticized the move, accusing the authorities of losing their minds by helping Gaza before disarmament. He urged Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to stop the rehabilitation process, citing concerns about aiding hospitals, which he equated with supporting terrorism.

The Gaza Strip is facing a severe humanitarian crisis following the military offensive by Israel, which led to a total siege of the region. Charges have been brought against Israeli officials for possible war crimes and crimes against humanity. The International Criminal Court has called for the arrest of top leaders, including Netanyahu and the chief prosecutor of Hamas. Gaza authorities have reported thousands of deaths, both in the Strip and in other Palestinian territories as a result of Israeli actions.
