Israeli Army Blocks Water Supply to Palestinian Hospital
The Israeli army blocked water trucks from reaching Jenin Government Hospital on Saturday, potentially disrupting kidney dialysis services for patients. Israeli forces stopped water tankers from the Jenin Civil Defense from reaching the hospital, as reported by the Palestinian news agency Wafa.
Dargham Zakarneh, director of the Jenin Civil Defense Center, stated that Israeli soldiers stationed at the hospital’s gate blocked the water delivery. The hospital’s kidney dialysis department requires a daily 100 cubic meters of water to operate, and blocking the trucks would halt dialysis services.
Wassim Bakr, the hospital’s director, warned that continued restrictions could lead to a suspension of dialysis services if the water supply remains blocked. The Israeli army continued its military offensive in the city of Jenin and its refugee camp, causing significant damage amid clashes that lasted throughout the night.
Despite heightened tensions in the occupied West Bank, the International Court of Justice declared Israel’s occupation of Palestinian land unlawful and demanded the evacuation of all settlements in the West Bank and East Jerusalem.
