Gaza Water Supply Nears Collapse
--------------------------------



Meanwhile, in Gaza, the International Committee of the Red Cross is
warning Palestinians could lose access to a safe water supply at any
moment. The warning follows a UN report showing Gaza’s underground water
system is on the verge of collapse. The system is Gaza’s only source of
drinking water. Just five to ten percent of the aquifer is currently fit
for human consumption.
