Amid the devastating war on Gaza and the critical juncture of COP 28, Water Justice for Gaza (WJG) stands at the vanguard in addressing the pressing issues of natural resource dispossession and the quest for water and climate justice in Palestine. Our collective launched to confront the harsh realities of water apartheid and the systematic destruction of Palestinian water systems in Gaza and beyond; and strongly condemn Israel weaponization of water against Palestinians, which constitutes a war crime as stipulated in International law.
Who We Are:
WJG, a collective of researchers and activists, is not just an advocate for climate and water justice but also a beacon for solidarity and an educational platform. Our mission is to dissect the complicated narrative of water extractivism and highlight the insidious environmental racism that prevails. As champions of social and economic rights, we are a loud voice for international solidarity, shedding light on the impacts of these crises on Palestinian communities.
