Gaza: Israel
- Question
-
To ask Her Majesty’s Government what representations are they making to the government of Israel regarding the reported contamination of water in the Gaza Strip.
- Answer
-
While we have not raised with the Israeli authorities any specific issue of contamination of water in the Gaza Strip, we do raise with them our concerns about the quality of water in the Occupied Territories. We have noted that the World Health Organisation has assessed that 90-95% of water in Gaza is undrinkable. UK technical assistance has aided the feasibility study of a proposed Gaza desalinisation plant.
