UAE's Lifeline Water Project Brings Hope to Gaza Amid Crisis

The team from Operation Chivalrous Knight 3 has spearheaded the 'Lifeline Water Supply Project' in collaboration with the Coastal Municipalities Water Utility (CMWU) in Gaza. This initiative is critical in bringing sustainable water pipelines to the southern Gaza Strip, as part of the UAE's ongoing humanitarian relief efforts in the region.

This major infrastructure project addresses the urgent water needs of displaced families and residents facing a humanitarian catastrophe due to ongoing conflicts. Coordinated with Egyptian authorities, the plan entails installing a new 7-kilometre water pipeline from UAE's desalination stations in Rafah to Al Mawasi, serving a densely populated area.

Around 600,000 people, including children, women, and seniors, are expected to gain from this project, securing access to clean, safe water and mitigating factors like limited resources, frequent outages, and scorching summer temperatures.

This undertaking is part of the broader UAE initiative under Operation Chivalrous Knight 3, which includes varied relief, medical, and infrastructure measures supporting Gaza's populace. Supervised by Emirati teams, the project ensures compliance with engineering standards and considers local community needs.

Technical teams report rapid progress, aiming for prompt activation of water supplies. This venture exemplifies the UAE's dedication to effective humanitarian aid in Gaza amidst the unprecedented challenges posed by persistent hostilities and widespread infrastructure breakdowns.

Upon completion, this project is anticipated to alleviate daily hardships for many families and serve as a benchmark for regional and global partnerships in addressing humanitarian emergencies.
