While Israel is regarded as a world leader in water management, technology, and efficiency (it is ranked as the 32nd most resilient country in the world to tackle climate change)—Israel deliberately deprives Palestinians of those resources.
Despite living in the same geographical territory, Palestinians are already suffering the effects of climate change more severely than Israelis, especially in the Gaza Strip.
Drip-irrigation, water recycling, and the desalination of seawater is increasing the quality and quantity of water available to Israelis in Tel Aviv and West Jerusalem. Meanwhile, Palestinians in the Occupied Territories have some of the lowest per capita water availability in the world: only 50% of households in the West Bank and 30% in the Gaza Strip have daily access to water.
