The Palestinian spokesman warned of possible flooding from the Sheikh Radwan rainwater collection site in northern Gaza City.
"This could constitute another humanitarian disaster unless supplies for the restoration of the destroyed pond facilities, including an electric generator, repair of its pumps, and the water drainage line to the sea, are immediately supplied," he added.
URGENT APPEAL
The Palestinian spokesman said municipal authorities are working with limited capabilities amid Israel's genocidal war on Gaza.
"Gaza needs a real humanitarian stance. The crisis goes beyond temporary solutions and requires an urgent response that guarantees a decent life for the displaced and all residents," Muhanna said.
He called for an immediate halt to the Israeli war, opening Gaza's crossings, and access to relief and humanitarian aid as quickly as possible.
On Wednesday, Gaza's Civil Defense Service said that heavy rains inundated over 1,542 tents housing displaced civilians in the Gaza Strip in the past two days.
Despite a UN Security Council resolution calling for an immediate cease-fire, the Israeli army has continued a genocidal war on Gaza that has killed nearly 45,600 victims, mostly women and children, since Oct. 7, 2023.
In November, the International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant for war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza.
Israel also faces a genocide case at the International Court of Justice for its war on the enclave.
