Tens of Thousands of Palestinians Without Access to Safe Drinking Water
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Tens of thousands of Palestinians living in the Israeli-occupied West
Bank are without access to safe drinking water during the holy month of
Ramadan, after Israel's national water company began siphoning off water
supplies to multiple West Bank cities and villages. Meanwhile, European
Union officials are warning 95 percent of the water in the
Israeli-occupied Gaza Strip is currently not fit for human use.
