    Yeah, was listening to BBC this morning -Tim Franks interviewing Israeli intelligence about allowing fuel through to get water pumps going again. It was very clear the answer was no, but they refused to say so directly. The interviewee became hostile and kept going on about how hamas uses these people as human shields. … Is the west supposed to think dying of thirst the more humanitarian option? Is that what they're going for? jfc

      Someone said the pipes are too fucked by the bombing and TBH that makes sense. But assuming they're ok, can you even get water pumps going again safely?

      I've heard that pipes always leak and you need to keep constant pressure in the lines so the leak is out into the soil instead of losing pressure and letting the dirt and bacteria leak back into the water supply.

      I suppose dirty water can be boiled and is better than water with heavy metals… Anybody with any actual experience wanna speak up about this?
