SPEAKER:
*Omar Barghouti*
An independent Palestinian researcher and human rights activist, Mr. Barghouti is a founding member of PACBI, the Palestinian Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel.
*Access to water is a fundamental human right
*Israelis gets 83% of water from aquifers in the occupied West Bank,
West Bank Palestinians get what?s left.
*Israel?s overpumping of the coastal aquifer, its closures and its military attacks on infrastructure limit Palestinian access to water in the Gaza Strip.
80,000 Palestinian citizens of Israel have no running water
or sewage systems.
