Water Provision

Access to clean water is a fundamental right, yet for most families in Gaza, it remains out of reach.

At Clean Shelter, we take concrete action to address this crisis by providing emergency water distribution, operating sustainable desalination units, and rebuilding essential infrastructure.

Desalination for Public Use

To create more sustainable solutions, we purchased and installed a solar-powered desalination unit in Al-Mawasi, capable of producing 3–4 cubic meters of clean drinking water per day. This unit remains operational and publicly accessible in Abasan, serving displaced families who have been forced to relocate once again.

Khan Younis Water Grid Rehabilitation

Recognizing the urgent need for long-term solutions, we launched a major water infrastructure project in Khan Younis, set to be completed by March 2025. This initiative restores and expands surface water networks and public faucets in six neighborhoods, benefiting 120,000 people—many of whom have lost their homes and rely on public infrastructure for survival.

Emergency Water Distribution

Between May and October 2024, we purchased, transported, and distributed an average of 20 cubic meters of clean drinking water per day to internally displaced persons (IDPs), camps, and communities across southern and central Gaza. In total, we provided 1.6 million liters (1,600 cubic meters) of safe drinking water, helping thousands of families survive amid extreme shortages.

In northern Gaza, we are increasing our water distribution efforts in Gaza City, ensuring displaced families have access to clean drinking water despite ongoing infrastructure damage. In January and February 2025, we also distributed emergency water supplies, ensuring displaced communities had access to drinking water despite severe restrictions.

Scaling Up for Lasting Impact

As the crisis continues, we are expanding our water distribution efforts. Beyond Khan Younis, we aim to replicate our large-scale water infrastructure projects in other areas, ensuring that more communities gain access to safe, sustainable drinking water.
