“Two water desalination plants funded by the Chinese gov't opened this month in a poor Palestinian village in the Israeli-blockaded Gaza Strip, allowing the villagers instant access to free clean water.
…’This is a joyful day for my family and we can now get drinking water instantly and for free. We no longer need to wait for trucks selling filtered drinking water,’said Abu Gouda, a father of 12, as he observed his kids filling a small water container from the new plant in front of his home.
The 50-year-old farmer said the residents of the village suffered for years from lack of access to clean water.”
