Middle East Desalination Research Center Muscat, Sultanate of Oman June 2013 Islamic University, Gaza. Postgraduate Studies Deanery, Faculty of Engineering, Department of Civil Water Resources Engineering, Review the Legal Side and Reform the Institutional Framework of Water Sector in Palestine M. Sc. Thesis Submitted By Eng. Mahmoud R. Sulyman Supervised By Dr. Said Ghabayen Assistant Professor, Islamic University of Gaza Faculty of Engineering – Environmental Department. A Thesis Submitted in Partial fulfillment of the Requirement for the Degree of Master in Science in Civil / Water Resources Engineering. June, 2013– Shaban, 1434. Abstract The main objective of water resources management is to secure adequate quantity of good quality water in equitable manner. This could be achieved through a proper institutional management and participation of all stakeholders. The water management process in Palestine started since 1995-1996 by establishing Palestine Water authority (PWA) as water sector regulator and still ongoing up to date. In this study, various regional and international institutional configurations were reviewed and how those entities managed the sector. The state of problem in this thesis divided into two main parts the legal part and the institutional framework of the sector. Adaptive methodology was used through reviewing and comparing the four main laws (Water Law, Environmental Law, Agricultural Law and Public Health Law) together, and the institutional framework was restructured based on duties of each competent agency stated in laws, the principles of the Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) and the concepts of the Management and Transnet Framework (MTF).

  • Thirteen Killed by the IOF and Thousands Injured in the OPT in December 2017
    Thirteen Killed by the IOF and Thousands Injured in the OPT in December 2017 Al-Haq – 5 January 2018 Escalations have continued across the Occupied Palestinian Territory (OPT) since 6 December 2017, in the wake of United States (US) President Trump’s decision to recognise Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and to relocate the US Embassy to Jerusalem, in contravention of international law and long-standing international consensus on the status of Jerusalem.1 Throughout the month of December 2017, 13 Palestinians were killed by the Israeli Occupying Forces (IOF) in the OPT, while 4,690 injuries were recorded in the same period by the Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS).2 The aforementioned casualties are a result of the IOF’s excessive use of force, including the launching of airstrikes on the Gaza Strip, the use of live fire to suppress protests, the shooting of rubber- coated metal bullets at crowds, the firing of tear gas canisters at protesters, and the beating of protesters by members of the IOF.3 1. Thirteen Palestinians Killed by the IOF in December 2017 Al-Haq documented the killing of thirteen Palestinians by the IOF in December 2017. Nine Palestinians were killed by the IOF during protests across the OPT. These are: Mahmoud Abd Al-Majid Al-Masri, 29, from Khan Younis, Gaza; Basel Mustafa Ibrahim, 29, from ‘Anata in Jerusalem; Yasser Naji Sukkar, 23, from Al-Shuja’iyah, Gaza; Ibrahim Nayef Abu Thuraya, 29, a resident of Deir Al-Balah, Gaza; Zakaria Adham Al-Kafarna, 20, from beit Hanoun, Gaza; Muhammad Nabil Muheisen, 29, a resident of Al-Shuja’iyah, Gaza; Sharif Al-Abed Shalash, 28, a resident of Jabaliya M.

  • FIELD UPDATE on GAZA from the HUMANITARIAN COORDINATOR 13 January 2009, 1700 Hours “My Message Is Simple, Direct and to the Point: the Fighting Must Stop
    United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs FIELD UPDATE ON GAZA FROM THE HUMANITARIAN COORDINATOR 13 January 2009, 1700 hours “My message is simple, direct and to the point: the fighting must stop. To both sides, I say: Just stop, now. Too many people have died. There has been too much civilian suffering. Too many people, Israelis and Palestinians, live in daily fear of their lives. And in Gaza, the very foundation of society is being destroyed: people’s homes; civic infrastructure; public health facilities; and schools.” (Secretary General Ban Ki Moon, Press Conference, 12 January) The Israeli military operation has entered its eighteenth day. Israeli air, sea and ground forces continue to surround populated areas of the Gaza Strip, and the Gaza and North Gaza Governorates remain isolated from the rest of the territory. The humanitarian crisis is intensifying and the number of Palestinian civilian casualties is increasing. Israeli bombardment is causing extensive destruction to homes and to public infrastructure throughout the Gaza Strip and is jeopardizing water, sanitation and medical services. Increasing numbers of Palestinians are fleeing their homes as Israeli forces penetrate deeper into the Gaza Strip. Hospitals are overstretched as medical staff attempt to cope with the high number of casualties, many of whom have multiple injuries. Of particular concern are children, who make up 56 percent of the Gaza population. On 13 January, the United Nations Committee on the Rights of the Child expressed its deep concern ‘at the devastating effects that the current military engagement in Gaza is having on children.’ In response to allegations of the looting of food aid, the humanitarian agencies (UN and partners) involved in the delivery and distribution of food supplies affirm that there has been no reported theft or misuse of these supplies.

  • Rainfall Data in Gaza Strip
    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by Institutional Repository of the Islamic University of Gaza Strategic Planning Directorate Water information bank department Rainfall Data in Gaza Strip June 2007 1- Introduction Rainfall is one of the most important parts of the water resource. It is an essential component of scientific investigation of the hydrologic cycle. The pattern, the amount beside the intensity of rainfall are the most important factors that directly affect to groundwater balance and replenishment. Rainfall data is an essential element of basic data input to any hydrologic and engineering studies. Furthermore, Monthly and seasonal data are used in determining supplementary irrigation water requirements and in engineering relevant studies like rainwater harvesting, storage analysis, water supply and the whole water resources management. In the Gaza Strip, rainfall is the main source of groundwater recharge area. The area is located in the semi-arid zone and there is no source of recharge other than rainfall therefore a detailed knowledge of rainfall regime and its distribution is a perquisite for water resources planning and management in Gaza Strip. In this context the Palestinian water authority is keen in cooperation with Ministry of Agriculture (MOA) and the Metrological Office in Ministry of Transport for providing updated seasonal rainfall data and information for assessment of water resources situation in Gaza strip and research and studies concerns. This report presents accumulated observed rainfall records (seasonally and monthly) sourced from 12 rainfall manual stations distributed over Gaza strip area (365 km2) for season 2006/2007 and the calculated average rainfall depth fallen in the whole Gaza strip area, and its related governorates in particular, Moreover, the report includes historical rainfall data concerning the variations of rainfall over the past 10 years.
