ACTNews, DEIR AL BALAH - Efforts to provide clean water sources continue to
be carried out for the people of Gaza through the construction of a Waqf Well.
In early January, Global Wakaf- Aksi Cepat Tanggap (ACT) finished the
construction of a 65-meter-deep well in the Abu Al A'jeen area, Deir Al Balah.
Said Mukaffiy
from the Global Humanity Response - Aksi Cepat Tanggap reported that the
construction of the Waqf Well in Abu Al Ajeen was completed within 15 days. The
borehole well was drilled using a 12-inch iron pipe with a depth of 65 meters.
The well is also equipped with a water pump.
“The Waqf Well
is equipped with pipelines to facilitate the water distribution to various
areas of the city and the expansion of the electricity network. Insha Allah, as
many as 3,000 families or 20,000 people benefit from this waqf well,” Said
reported.
This well covers
the district of Abu al-A'ajjin, a marginal area located on the outskirts of Deir
al Balah near the Wadi al-Salqa Valley. This neighborhood is considered an
impoverished area and is in dire need of water due to its population density.
Said explained
that the Deir El-Balah region is experiencing severe water shortages because of
the high salinity of the water. As an agricultural city, the need for water for farming
is very high in Deir Al-Balah.
"This Waqf Well
benefits many communities, including economically underprivileged families who
have difficulty getting clean water. With this Waqf Well, they can access clean
water easily, regularly, at any time,” ended Said. []
