GAZA, (PIC)-- During a workshop organised by the Mizan centre for Human rights held on Thursday in Gaza, Palestinian specialists said that 95% of groundwater in the Gaza Strip is not potable.

They called on the international community and the and High Contracting Parties to the Geneva Convention to assume their responsibilities, through pressure on the occupation, to affirm the water rights of the Palestinian people, and press them to spare civilians the Zionist machine of aggression.

The specialists called for alternative sources to treated ground water, especially encouraging investment in desalination plants to make use of sea water as an alternative to protect the strategic reserve of ground water.
