3. SOUNDBITE (Arabic) Alaa Abu Soud, displaced from Rafah:
"We have a severe shortage of salt water and potable water. I have 9 family members. I need at least 250 litres as a minimum, for washing dishes and other things. We are unable. There is a huge shortage in this area, and there are thousands of displaced people who came from the Iqlimi area and other places, so the area is in need of support for the digging of more than one well. Look, there is a massacre for water."

5. SOUNDBITE (Arabic) Issam Al Dayah, displaced from Gaza:
"From five o'clock in the morning until sunset, we are running until we fill a bottle like this, a litre, a litre of water, which 16 people in my home drink from. This is a great suffering and tragedy."

7. SOUNDBITE (Arabic) Mai Al Rae, displaced from Gaza:
"From the beginning of the war until now, for nine months, we have been suffering. We are suffering from everything, in terms of water, food, everything. We live in tents and do not feel comfortable. How long will it continue like this? We are tired. We are very tired in this life. We suffer from everything, not just water, we suffer from everything."

STORYLINE:
Scores of men, women and children holding jugs, water bottles, and buckets crowded around trucks and water tanks in Khan Younis on Sunday to collect their share of drinking water.
The crowds around the trucks grew larger as more Palestinians displaced in Israel’s ongoing war against Hamas in the Gaza Strip arrived in the area.
Displaced Palestinian Issam Al Dayah said he had to wait from sunrise to sunset for one litre of drinking water to share with 16 people.
Young children climbed on the truck to try to get water into their containers first, while others sat under the truck to collect whatever drops fell.
Alaa Abu Soud, who was recently displaced from Rafah, waited in the scorching heat to collect water for nine family members. He said there is a severe shortage of water for washing and drinking in the area.
The heat in Gaza is reaching over 32 C (89 F).
