Every morning in Gaza, the search for water begins.
Video journalist Bisan Owda follows children carrying heavy water containers, families waiting for water trucks, and the people working to keep one of the few desalination plants still running.
Along the way, Bisan reveals what has been destroyed, why clean water has become so hard to find, and what it now takes to provide water for millions of people in Gaza.

This video story is direct evidence of genocide by Israel.
Today in Maine's Portland Press Herald an article appeared with this headline: Maine Jewish leaders push back on Gaza genocide accusation against Israel
Some of the most outrageous parts in the article included this:
Fifteen Jewish leaders in Maine, including the rabbis of synagogues around the state, called in a rare joint statement for politicians not to accuse Israel of genocide for its war in Gaza.
The statement, released Friday by the Jewish Community Alliance of Southern Maine, noted that the allegation was “becoming a staple of rhetoric in Maine politics” on the left and argued that it was supercharging antisemitism in Maine.
“Compassion for Palestinians does not require the adoption of hateful and misleading language,” the leaders wrote. “Advocating for peace does not require participation in a ‘Holocaust inversion’ against the Jewish community. And political leadership does not require demonizing one community in the service of another.”
To challenge the genocide accusation, the group of Jewish leaders cited the Israeli government’s support for a polio vaccination campaign in Gaza in 2024.
The newspaper did not allow comments to be made under the article.
It appears to me that many leaders inside Jewish and zionist communities across the US are ramping up criticism of those who call out Israel's obvious genocidal wars in Palestine, Lebanon, Iran and Yemen as we approach the November mid-term congressional elections.
They likely fear that the usual AIPAC massive spending to defeat those critical of Israel is losing much of its power. Thus they must figure a more direct intimidation of the public and candidates who oppose Israel's apartheid system is necessary by using the standard antisemitism line.
Cry me a river to the sea....

There is no question that Israel intends genocide of the Palestinian people. Their leaders have stated their intentions plainly enough in many, many videos the whole world has had access to seeing,
"Let us now try what love can do" as William Penn suggested three hundred years ago. What a challenge! Can we find the courage and the imagination to TRY?
