Gaza City, July 19 (RHC)-- In addition to bombing Gazan homes, Israel’s attack has further decimated a civilian infrastructure already in crisis after years of a crippling blockade.  The International Committee of the Red Cross warned the more than week-long Israeli bombings have pushed Gaza to the brink of a new water crisis.

The Red Cross says: "Water is a problem, and it can quickly turn out into a catastrophe.  We do have hundreds of thousands of people without water in Gaza.  So water repairs have been conducted in very difficult conditions. Water engineers have been killed, and this obviously hampered a lot the work.

The International Red Cross says that Gaza has already a very difficult deteriorating infrastructure, with 1.7 million people living in a very small area.  "With all the shelling and the bombings and the fighting going on, it can only get worse."

    How can the world look on and allow this genocide to continue? Thanks to RHC for providing updates on the situation.
