25 May 2008
Israel's blockade of the Gaza Strip has severely limited the amount of electricity and diesel available to power water pumps. 30 per cent of Gazans are only able to access water for a few hours a week.
Oxfam has been providing water tanks to 3,000 families to help them cope with the water crisis.
