Amidst the ongoing conflict in Palestine, a water crisis is silently unfolding in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank. Millions of people are left living well below the line of water starvation. To add to their misery, their drinking water is contaminated by sea water and sewage. The underground resources are being overexploited, and very soon none may remain for what are considered by some to be the most densely populated area in the world.
Basima Bashir, a senior water engineer from Ramallah, Palestine, joined IslamOnline.net for an interview to talk about the water conditions in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank. Bashir is a member of the Palestinian Hydrology Group, a NGO working with local communities to develop and protect water resources in Palestine.
