Israel caps Palestinians water: AmnestyIsrael caps Palestinians water: Amnesty
Amnesty International has accused Israel of denying Palestinians adequate access to water while allowing Jewish settlers in the occupied West Bank almost unlimited supplies.
Israel, the human rights group said, restricts availability of water in the Palestinian territories "by maintaining total control over the shared resources and pursuing discriminatory policies".
"Israel allows the Palestinians access to only a fraction of the shared water resources, which lie mostly in the occupied West Bank while the unlawful Israeli settlements there receive virtually unlimited supplies," Amnesty researcher Donatella Rovera said in a report.
Israel consumes four times more water than Palestinians, who use an average of 70 litres a day per person, according to the report entitled: "Troubled waters - Palestinians denied fair access to water."
those khazar settlers profit from land and water and leave native citizens without ressources
