GAZA, June 24 (Xinhua) -- The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) said that aid funding shortfalls for Gaza trigger cutbacks in services, forcing four of its humanitarian partners to begin phasing out water trucking in Gaza, which is expected to leave more than 330,000 people across 250 sites at risk of losing their primary source of drinking water.
The UN Children's Fund (UNICEF) warned that water shortages force families to choose between drinking and maintaining hygiene to prevent disease.
According to the OCHA, nearly halfway through 2026, the 4.1 billion U.S. dollars required for the annual appeal for Gaza and the West Bank is less than 15 percent funded.
