Palestinians do not have adequate and consistent access to water and electricity due to the ongoing conflict with Israel because Israel controls the supply of both water and electricity to Palestine.
Defense
Claim
As mentioned earlier, Israel controls all access in and out of the Gaza Strip, using that control to restrict the supplies, humanitarian aid, and even the electricity that goes into Gaza. This has created an energy crisis in Gaza, where 2 million Palestinians live without reliable access to the resources they need.
Defense
Quote
First, since Israel controls all entry points into Gaza, they have banned the entry of fuel used for the power plant, which has reduced electricity production in Gaza. There have also been accusations of Israel’s military forces directly targeting the Gaza Power Plant and electric power lines during conflicts in order to reduce access to electricity even more for the Palestinians in Gaza.
