Human rights group Amnesty International has said that Israeli restrictions prevented Palestinians from receiving enough water in the West Bank and Gaza Strip. In a report published today, the group said that Israel's daily water consumption per capita was four times higher than that in the Palestinian territories. Amnesty official Donatella Rovera said that water is a basic need and a right, but for many Palestinians obtaining even poor-quality, subsistence-level quantities of water has become a luxury that they can barely afford.Meanwhile, spokesman for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu Mark Regev dismissed Amnesty's statement and said that Israel has met its obligations under the 1993 Oslo agreement while Palestinians have failed to meet their own requirements to recycle water and were not distributing water efficiently.
