SaltWire's Atlantic regional weather forecast for October 16, 2023 | SaltWireGAZA - As Israeli air strikes pounded the Gaza Strip ahead of an expected ground offensive, the enclave's residents were getting more desperate by the hour as water runs out, garbage piles up, explosions flatten homes and hospitals struggle to cope.
Some residents prayed for an end to the war between Israel and the Palestinian militant group Hamas, which has raised fears of a wider Middle East conflict. It has vowed to annihilate Hamas, which rules the enclave, in retaliation for a rampage by its fighters in Israeli towns nine days ago in which its militants killed 1,300 civilians including children and seized hostages in the worst attack on civilians in the country's history. Israel's military said at least 291 soldiers have been killed.
Hamas said on Monday that Israel had not resumed water supplies to Gaza despite pledging to do so. An Israeli official said some water was being provided to an area in the south of the enclave. "Now, we're filling in salt water, I'm ready to drink from the salt water - what else can we do?" Saqr said.
Even the 10% of the aquifer's water deemed safe to drink is often mixed with poor-quality water during distribution, making it good only for washing.
