Occupied West Bank water shortages: Village depends on small spring for survival

Occupied West Bank water shortages: Village depends on small spring for survival

Palestinians in the occupied West Bank are also struggling with chronic water shortages.
Israel controls all water resources in the territory – and has reduced the Palestinian share by a third – further worsening the crisis.
Illegal Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank, however, have unfettered access to water, and consume six times the volume available to Palestinians.

Al Jazeera’s Nour Odeh has this report from the village of Irtas, near Bethlehem.
