Israeli national water company Mekorot has reduced the daily amount of water supply to the occupied West Bank cities of Hebron and Bethlehem, the Palestinian Water Authority (PWA) said on Saturday.
The PWA said that Mekorot has decreased the water supply by 6,000 cups, and is depriving Palestinians of having sufficient access to water, especially during rising summer temperatures currently witnessed in the West Bank.
The water authority went on to describe the move as "racist."
"There are no technical reasons behind this reduction," the PWA said.
