Yes, **since 1967**, Israel’s occupation of the West Bank, Gaza, and Golan Heights initiated systematic water access restrictions for Palestinians, with Military Order 158 limiting Palestinian water infrastructure and prioritizing Israeli use of key resources like the Mountain Aquifer and Jordan River. Regarding Gaza, Israel did **not completely cut water** after the blockade began in **2007**. Instead, it restricted water-related infrastructure (fuel, electricity, materials) and reduced piped water supplies via **Mekorot** (e.g., ~84.2 MCM/year in 2019, often disrupted). The blockade exacerbated Gaza’s reliance on the over-exploited Coastal Aquifer, with 96-97% of its water unfit for drinking by 2020 due to contamination. Conflict-related damage, especially since 2023, has further crippled Gaza’s water infrastructure, dropping per capita use to 3-5 liters/day in 2025, but some Mekorot water and humanitarian aid still trickle in, though insufficiently.
