Israel is currently experiencing a serious water crisis. Five out of six of its desalination plants are not operational. These plants are crucial as they provide a significant portion of the country’s water supply.
The disruption is due to microscopic algae that are blocking the intake pipes in the Mediterranean Sea. This issue has severely impacted water production.
Experts suggest untreated wastewater from Gaza’s damaged sewage system might be a contributing factor. The wastewater could be exacerbating the algae growth, further complicating the situation.
