UAE team inspects Gaza water pipeline project

A team from Operation Chivalrous Knight 3 conducted a field inspection of the ‘‘Lifeline Water Supply Project," an initiative that aims to establish sustainable water pipelines to supply the southern areas of the Gaza Strip.

Conducted in collaboration with the Coastal Municipalities Water Utility (CMWU) in Gaza and in coordination with the relevant Egyptian authorities, the project and is designed to meet the escalating needs of displaced families and local residents amidst the severe humanitarian crisis caused by the ongoing conflict.

The project involves laying a new 7-kilometre water pipeline. The line begins at the UAE’s desalination stations on the Egyptian side of Rafah and extends to Al Mawasi in southern Gaza, one of the most densely populated areas with displaced persons.

Approximately 600,000 people are expected to benefit from the project, including a significant number of children, women, and elderly individuals.

The project aims to provide a reliable supply of clean and safe water, alleviating the humanitarian and health burdens faced by residents due to limited resources, frequent water outages, and extreme summer temperatures.

This effort is part of a broader plan launched by the UAE under Operation Chivalrous Knight 3, which encompasses a comprehensive suite of relief, medical, and infrastructure projects in support of the people of Gaza.

Technical teams have confirmed that work is progressing rapidly and that implementation is on schedule, with the aim of launching the water supply to distribution areas as soon as possible.
