Israel Plans to Boost Gaza Water Supply Amid Humanitarian Crisis

New initiative to power Khan Yunis desalination plant aims to provide drinking water for nearly a million Gazans.

Israel, under Western pressure, seeks to alleviate Gaza's severe water shortage by increasing electricity to a key desalination plant.
The Khan Yunis facility, funded by the UN, currently produces a fraction of its 20,000 cubic meter capacity due to power cuts.
Restoring full power to the plant could significantly improve water access for areas heavily affected by conflict.
The plan has been approved by key Israeli officials but still requires further governmental consent.
Western allies continue to press Israel to ease military operations and allow more humanitarian aid into Gaza.
