25 MAY: Displaced Palestinians hold a protest in Khan Yunis in the southern Gaza Strip, demonstrating against the severe water shortage threatening the lives of thousands amidst warnings of worsening health conditions and the spread of skin diseases.
Holding up empty water jugs to symbolise the extent of the daily suffering endured by residents due to the lack of drinking water, protesters emphasized the direct threat posed to their lives, particularly for children and the elderly. They called on the relevant authorities and humanitarian organisations to intervene urgently to ensure a regular supply of water and prevent a worsening humanitarian disaster. Since the so-called 'ceasefire' of October 2025, Israel has continued to block significant aid from entering Gaza. The vast majority of Gaza's population is still displaced and living in inadequate shelters, and the humanitarian situation remains catastrophic.
