MSF Accuses Israel of Systematic Water Deprivation in Gaza Report
Doctors Without Borders (MSF) released a report on April 28, 2026, titled 'Water as a Weapon,' accusing Israeli authorities of systematically depriving the population of Gaza of essential water access. The charity documented that nearly 90 percent of water and sanitation infrastructure has been destroyed or damaged. The report claims this 'engineered scarcity' constitutes collective punishment and is an integral part of ongoing hostilities that persist despite a ceasefire agreement signed in October 2025.
