UNITED NATIONS – OCHA on Wednesday said that in Gaza, a key water pipeline in the south is back up and running, after a repair team was granted access to the site by Israeli authorities.
UN aid coordination office reported a week ago that the main water line running from Israel into Khan Younis in southern Gaza had sustained damage and was out of service representing a key concern for the enclave’s 2.1 million people.
A request to reach the site and make repairs was denied at the time, OCHA said.
UNICEF welcomed support from Sweden for winterisation supplies, sanitation, nutrition and humanitarian cash transfers for children and families.
UNDP also highlighted the critical need for safe and sturdy shelters.
Republic of Korea, the agency has replaced more than 800 worn-out tents for displaced Gazans, but it’s only a start, UNDP insisted.
