Al-Haq reported meeting with the United Nations Special Rapporteur on the human rights to safe drinking water and sanitation, Pedro Arrojo-Agudo, to brief him on the situation of human rights related to water and sanitation in the Occupied Palestinian Territory. Al-Haq cited Israel’s control over the OPT’s three main natural water supply sources, and the extensive restrictions and exploitation by the Israeli forces, and by Israel’s national water company, Mekorot. Al-Haq highlighted that Israeli “water apartheid” constitutes a systematic attack on the Palestinian people’s right to water, as well as a violation of the Palestinians’ broader right to the highest attainable standards of health.
