The situation in Gaza remains dire, with 2 million residents struggling for survival amidst a humanitarian crisis exacerbated by halted aid and power outages. The Israeli government has cut off support in an effort to pressure Hamas, impacting vital infrastructure such as desalination plants necessary for water supply. Marwan Bardawil, a water engineer with nearly three decades of experience, embodies the struggle to maintain access to clean water during these tumultuous times. The fragile cease-fire situation adds to the uncertainty and hardship faced by Gazans.
In the throes of war, it can be hard to keep track of any one element of harm or destruction. There are so many places to look.
About a week ago, Israel has once again cut off power, which is important because there are still 2 million people living in Gaza, and power helps bring them clean water.
For nearly 30 years, Bardawil has worked to grow and stabilize the water sector in Gaza. His focus on his job is his salvation.
The ongoing stalemate over extending a cease-fire between Israel and Hamas has 2 million people still trapped in the rubble-strewn Gaza Strip.
