Water scarcity and degradation in Palestine, including the West Bank and Gaza Strip, pose significant challenges to environmental security. These areas make up 23% of historic Palestine and were occupied by Israel in 1967. The West Bank covers 5,572 km2, while the Gaza Strip is 367 km2. This situation highlights the urgent need for sustainable water management practices to address the risks and vulnerabilities associated with water scarcity in the region.
