On 24 March, Al-Haq published the article “Deprivation of water and destruction of water installations are tools of Israel’s genocide against the Palestinian people” to mark World Water Day. The NGO stated that Israel has deliberately created conditions intended to bring about the destruction of the Palestinian people, including by placing Gaza under an electricity blackout, meaning that the South Gaza Desalination Plant could only provide about 2,500 m3 of water per day, instead of 18,000, putting at risk the lives of 600,000 Palestinians. Furthermore, Israel prevented the construction of sewage treatment plants in Gaza, blocking the entry of materials needed to build and operate them.
