Israel resumes water supply to south of Gaza to encourage evacuation

The Telegraph  

Israel said it had resumed the water supply to southern Gaza on Sunday as the country’s military claimed 600,000 people had evacuated from the enclave’s north ahead of an anticipated ground offensive. Israel Katz, the country’s energy minister, said the decision to partially restore the water would “push the civilian population to the southern Strip”. A Telegraph reporter in Gaza said residents had been told water supplies would be restored on Monday. Israel had reportedly come under pressure from Washington to restore vital supplies to Gaza having declared a “complete siege” on the territory, cutting its access to electricity, food, fuel and water in response to the Hamas attacks.
