“Always being a support of two-state solution in Israeli-Palestinian conflict Armenia made a decision to recognize the independent state of Palestine,” wrote the Armenian Deputy Foreign Minister Vohan Kostanyan on his X account.

“The Republic of Armenia categorically rejects the targeting of civilian infrastructures, violence against the civilian population and the hostage-taking and capture of civilians during the armed conflict and joins the demands of the international community for their release without preconditions,” it added.

About “67% of water, sanitation facilities and infrastructure have been destroyed or damaged” in the Gaza Strip since 7 October, the UN Relief Agency for Palestine (UNRWA) stated Wednesday.

There is neither water nor sanitation in the whole of the Gaza Strip. With sewers destroyed, filthy water run in the streets and neighborhoods that have been destroyed.  

The agency emphasized the urgent need for action according to a press statement published in Anadolu.

“As infectious diseases continue to spread and temperatures rise, the lack of hygiene and dehydration pose a severe threat to the health of people across Gaza,” it wrote on X.

UNRWA plays a vital role in providing life-saving services to registered Palestine refugees; however, the recent destruction of essential infrastructure in Gaza exacerbates an already precarious situation, leaving many without access to clean water and sanitation facilities, the Turkish news said.

Flouting a UN Security Council resolution demanding an immediate cease-fire, Israel has faced international condemnation amid its continued brutal offensive on Gaza since the 7 October attack by Hamas.

Nearly 37,400 Palestinians have since been killed in Gaza, most of them women and children, and more than 85,400 others injured, according to local health authorities.
