<p>GAZA CITY (Ma’an) &#8212; Gaza City&#8217;s municipal council asked residents on Sunday to move their water tanks to ground level as the electricity crisis hampered pumping water any higher.</p>
<p>Electricity interruptions as Gaza&#8217;s sole power plant runs out of fuel have stopped the pumping of water above the ground floor, the municipality said. It called on residents to use water economically.</p>

<p><strong>Articles 55 and 56 of the Fourth Geneva Convention</strong> clearly establish that Israel, as the occupying power, not only has a <strong>duty to ensure medical supplies</strong> reach hospitals in the OPT, but to <strong>ensure and maintain the services</strong> of the hospitals too. As High Contracting Parties to the Geneva Conventions, other states not only have a moral duty but also a legal obligation to ensure Israel abides by its commitments to the protected population of the OPT.</p>
<p><strong>UN Convention of the Rights of the Child,</strong> As a States Party to the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, Israel is obliged under <strong>Article 24 of the treaty</strong> to recognise the right of every child under its effective jurisdiction “to the enjoyment of the<strong> highest attainable standard of health and to facilities for the treatment</strong> of illness and rehabilitation of health. States Parties shall strive to ensure that no child is deprived of his or her right of access to such health care services”.</p>

<p>While in the horrible holocaust, 1 in 6, so 1 million people died of the Nazi but exactly similar deliberate deprivation, Israel is doing exactly the same to Palestinians. Research (see link below) showed the annual deathrate by violent &amp; passive aggression is about 5000 deaths a year. Called Avoidable mortality or Excess Death.</p>
