Project description

In the Palestinian Gaza region, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict has seriously affected local residents’ access to water resources and assistance, posing huge challenges to local residents. Many people have limited access to clean water, leading to health risks and sanitation issues. Economic hardship and displacement have further exacerbated the crisis, underscoring the urgent need for humanitarian assistance to provide basic supplies and support.

In response to this demand, the NGO sent four Spectra Watermakers Aquifer 4000 units, which were subsequently installed to serve nearly 400 households.
