For nearly two months, Palestinians in Gaza City’s Sheikh Radwan neighborhood had access to water at any time — a welcome sense of stability in the depths of a genocidal war. On Aug. 24, that stability was disrupted by an Israeli airstrike that destroyed the newly built water desalination plant and damaged apartment buildings and tents.

Standing next to rubble, Louay Al-Namnam told UR that at least 14 Palestinian families were now looking for “somewhere to live.”
