    ایمنسٹی انٹرنیشنل نےانکشاف کیا ہے کہ اسرائیل کے ظالمانہ رویے کے باعث فلسطینیوں کے لیے پینے کے پانی میں کمی تشویش ناک صورتحال کر چکی ہے

    عالمی ادارے کی رپورٹ میں کہا گیا ہے کہ اسرائیل میں سوئمنگ پولز اور کاشتکاری کے لیے وافر پانی موجود ہے جبکہ انہی علاقوں میں بسنے والے فلسطینی پینے کے لیے چند بوندوں کو ترستے ہیں ۔ اسرائیل آج بھی فلسطینیوں کو سولہ سال پہلے ہونیوالے اوسلو معاہدے کی طے شدہ مقدار میں ہی پانی فراہم کر رہا ہے جبکہ آبادی میں لاکھوں افراد کے اضافے کے پیش نظر اس میں اضافہ نہیں کیا گیا۔ فلسطینیوں کو اسرائیلی عوام کے لیے دستیاب پانی کا چوتھا حصہ پانی ملتا ہے جبکہ بعض علاقوں میں لوگوں کو دسواں حصہ بھی نصیب نہیں ہوتا۔ اسرائیلی چیک پوائنٹس اور دیگر پابندیوں کے باعث غزہ پہنچنے والا پانی انتہائی مہنگا بھی پڑتا ہے۔ ایمنسٹی انٹرنیشنل کی رپورٹ کے مطابق اگر فلسطینی علاقوں میں پانی کی فراہمی کو بہتر نہ بنایا گیا تو مستقبل میں یہ صورتحال مزید تشویشناک ہونے کا خدشہ ہے۔ دوسری جانب اسرائیل نے ہمیشہ کی طرح اس رپورٹ کو بھی مسترد کر دیا ہے


    Human rights group Amnesty International said in a report published on Tuesday (October 27) that Israeli restrictions prevent Palestinians from receiving enough water in the occupied West Bank and Gaza Strip.
    The report says Israel's daily water consumption per capita is four times higher than that in the two Palestinian territories.
    "Palestinians are having access to four times less water than Israelis and for some Palestinian communities it's ten times less water for the Palestinians than the Israelis. To put an end to the situation where Israeli settlements in the occupied territories -- which are unlawful under international law -- have swimming pools and green lawns and irrigated fields and the Palestinians do not have enough water even for drinking and for basic domestic needs," said Amnesty's Donatella Rovera in the Israeli city of Tel Aviv.
    Israel, itself facing unprecedented water shortages and rising tariffs, controls much of the West Bank's supplies, pumping from an aquifer that bridges Israel and the territory.
    Israel sells some water back to the Palestinians under quotas agreed to in the 1993 Oslo Accords, which rights groups say have not been increased in line with population growth.
    The report said that Gaza's coastal aquifer, its sole fresh water resource, has been polluted by infiltration of seawater and raw sewage and degraded by over-extraction.
    Israel maintains a blockade of the Gaza Strip, an area taken over by Hamas Islamists who fought Palestinian forces loyal to Western-backed President Mahmoud Abbas in 2007.
    "The key recommendation that Amnesty International is making to the Israeli authority is to ensure that the available water resources, this are shared resources and they should be distributed in a fair manner. We also making recommendation to the international donor community to be more vigil in its reporting, to be more outspoken in its reporting of the of the obstacle that the donors are facing when trying to implement water projects due to the restrictions that are imposed," Rovera added.
    Israel's water authority called the report "biased and incorrect, at the very least" and said that while there is a water gap, it is not nearly as big as presented in Amnesty's findings.
    Israel, the authority said, has met its obligations under the Oslo agreement while Palestinians had failed to meet their own requirements to recycle water and were not distributing water efficiently.
    Israeli government spokesperson said that Israel uses less water since 1967, the year in which it captured the West Bank during a Middle East war.
    and added that Israel calls on the Palestinians to "work together" to solve the region's water shortages.
    "Israel is actually using less fresh water today than it did in 1967. We use less fresh water both in absolute terms and in per capita terms. So the whole idea that we're taking water from someone else is ridiculous. We have actually lowered our consumption of fresh water through the fact that Israel is a world leader in water saving technologies, in water conservation, in desalination, in recycling water. And we say to the Palestinians - let's work together. Ultimately, the shortage of water is something that plagues the whole region," said Israel's government spokesperson Mark Regev in Jerusalem.
    Amnesty said water consumption in Israel is 300 litres a day per person and 70 litres a day in the West Bank and Gaza Strip.
    Israel's water authority said those numbers are misleading, because they take into account internal distribution and do not compare total water consumption. It says the total numbers are 408 litres per day for Israelis and 287 litres for Palestinians.
    The Amnesty report described how Palestinians in the West Bank rely on water from tankers that are forced to take long detours to avoid Israeli military checkpoints and roads off-limits to Palestinians. The procedure has led to steep increases in water prices, the report added
