Journalist Hossam Shabat documents the joy of children in north Gaza after they find a puddle of water. Some of the children play with the water, while another harvests some with a bucket.

The destruction of water treatment systems after October 7th, and the decades of infrastructural sabotage by the IOF leading up to it mean that many people are forced to drink filthy water just like this—if they can even find it.

The destruction by the IOF of sanitation infrastructure, including trash disposal and sewage treatment/containment, means that many streets are covered in trash and human waste. This further contaminates the already salty and dirty water, and has already caused serious gastrointestinal problems in thousands of Gazans.

Oregon [usa] has been shutting down small farms and market gardens in a pretty aggressive manner. They're even resorting to sending out cease and desist letters to these farms, using satellite tech to track them down first. Their justification? Water conservation and protecting groundwater. They're wielding two laws in particular to make this happen.

🚨 Head of the Government Media Office in Gaza, Salama Maarouf:

—

Gaza City is facing a new environmental disaster that threatens the citizens, adding to a series of disasters caused by the occupation to the Gaza Strip since the onset of its brutal aggression. This disaster is represented by the complete halt of all water wells in the city for the past two weeks due to the depletion of the scant fuel supplies that were available to the Gaza Municipality during the previous period.

With the municipality teams unable to operate the water wells that survived the barbarity and bombing of the occupation, the entire city is now experiencing severe thirst due to the water cut-off, especially with the continued stoppage of water pumping from the "Mekorot" line since the beginning of the aggression and the complete destruction of the desalination station, more than 40 water wells, and 120,000 linear meters of water networks in the city.

This crisis has currently reached its peak with the onset of rising temperatures and increased demand and consumption, which requires urgent intervention from all relevant parties to provide fuel and urgently restore water supply to the citizens, and to save them from severe thirst and the health and environmental crisis that will exacerbate due to the water cut-off.

We call on the international community to put an end to the occupation's crimes against civil service sectors and urge it to urgently move to support the municipalities and provide the necessary equipment and machinery for their operation, especially in light of the heavy burden currently placed on them in serving the citizens and delivering basic services to them, primarily water.

We call for a serious international legal action to investigate all the crimes committed by the occupation army against the municipalities, local councils, and other service institutions, and to take a responsible stance in the face of the continuation of such crimes.

Salama Maarouf

Fire used as excuse to steal back water rights from Natives.

You might not think water is a big issue in Hawaii -- but fresh water is a precious and constrained resource on these islands. Big farming companies have taken water rights from Natives -- and this also impacts the diverse ecologies where fresh water flows to the sea.

Hard fought political fights won some of those rights back in the 90s-- but now those same companies are using the fire as an excuse to roll back the clock.

"After years of discussion, the Atlantic First Nations Water Authority made history Monday by becoming the first Indigenous water utility in Canada.

The transfer agreement was signed in Dartmouth, N.S., by Atlantic First Nations Water Authority (AFWNA) CEO Carl Yates, Potlotek First Nation Chief Wilbert Marshall, and federal Minister of Indigenous Services Patty Hajdu.

“Today we make over 20 years of discussion and planning an official action. It has taken a long time to arrive where we are today, and dedication from all those involved, and can’t be overlooked,” said Chief Marshall.

Under this agreement, AFWNA will handle the operation, maintenance, and capital upgrades of all water and wastewater systems in participating First Nation communities.

First Nations can officially join the water authority after receiving approval from their community members."

You may have heard or experienced one specific difficulty with trying a plant-based diet: money. Fresh produce is expensive, and inaccessible to many, and that is not how a just and kind world should be. Why are factory-farmed animal products so much easier and cheaper to get? Why is Healthy Food So Expensive In America?

Excerpts:

"In the US, 10 times more farmland goes to feed farm animals than to feed people, destroying ecosystems and biodiversity, while wasting water and other increasingly scarce resources."

"News reports recently covered western states vying for a dwindling supply of Colorado River water. Still, they failed to adequately address that the river’s water is running out because most of it is used to grow crops to support animal agriculture. Bottom line: plant-based agriculture can feed more people with less land, less water, and fewer resources."

"One of the most entrenched lobbies in Washington, D.C., is the dairy industry, which receives government support to produce more cows’ milk than we consume. Besides funding overproduction, the USDA uses additional tax dollars to purchase and market the glut of dairy products to our school children and through exports. One 2015 study found an astounding 73% of the U.S. dairy industry’s income came from government programs. Dairy industry interests are so embedded that before his appointment as the USDA Secretary by President Biden, Tom Vilsack was the CEO of the U.S. Dairy Export Council."
