-- Posted by carracer at 3:21 pm on Jan. 10, 2009 http://www.irinnews.org/report.aspx?ReportId=77794 I think that you people, whoa re interested, should know that there has been a serious drought in Israel for four to five years. No one has water. When I was there during the summer, water levels had already reached a "black line". It's not even that they are withholding water, but they don't have enough water to take care of their own people. There are parts of the jordan river that are completely drying up. I feel like that is an important fact before anyone makes any assumptions. -- Posted by Live Just To Die at 3:21 pm on Jan. 10, 2009 Thanks for enlightening me. -- Posted by driscoll1997 at 3:23 pm on Jan. 10, 2009 oh my gosh, maybe Palestinians should not have supported Hamas!? -- Posted by Tasbard at 3:25 pm on Jan. 10, 2009 Wow. That sucks a lot. -- Posted by XsmilygirlX at 3:25 pm on Jan. 10, 2009 That sucks -- Posted by zenfusion1992 at 3:36 pm on Jan. 10, 2009 that sucks -- Posted by Jettie12 at 11:27 pm on Jan. 10, 2009 About no water in Gaza. Many water wells and sewage pumps are still not functioning due to lack of electricity, diminished fuel supplies to operate back-up generators and lack of spare parts. The Gaza Coastal Municipalities Water Utility (CMWU) Gaza's water utility, reports that despite yesterday's humanitarian cease-fire, technicians were not able to repair the systems. Following the delivery of 20,000 litres of fuel to water wells yesterday and today, the number of people who have no running water has decreased to 500,000, though this will be short lived if fuel supply is not continued. Drinking water remains difficult to obtain for most people in Gaza. Private contractors are now selling water for 40-60 NIS per cubic meter. -- Posted by carracer at 9:03 pm on Jan. 12, 2009 Quote: from Jettie12 at 11:27 pm on Jan. 10, 2009 About no water in Gaza.

It's not like Israel has an endless supply and isn't giving the palestinians any. -- Posted by Jettie12 at 9:12 pm on Jan. 12, 2009 Quote: from carracer at 12:03 am on Jan. 13, 2009 That doesn't disprove the fact that no one has water. It doesn't need to, it just gives perspective.
