Geneva Water Hub Director General Contributes to CNN Digital Report on Gaza Water Crisis

Our Director General, Mark Zeitoun, has contributed to a recent CNN Digital article on the water crisis in Gaza. The piece, titled "Israel-Gaza Water Shortages Worsen as Heatwave Pushes Region to Crisis Point," examines the critical water shortages affecting the region, exacerbated by ongoing heatwave conditions.

In the article, Prof. Zeitoun addressed the destruction of the Canada Water reservoir, stating, “The destruction of the Canada Water reservoir is certainly a breach of international humanitarian law (IHL).” He further explained, “IHL is meant to protect against indiscriminate attacks on the civilian population or the objects they depend upon for survival.”

Mark Zeitoun's contribution emphasizes the legal and humanitarian implications of such actions, highlighting the urgency of addressing water scarcity in Gaza through coordinated international efforts and sustainable management practices.
