RVF and it’s partners, UNRWA and ETA, are glad to announce that safe drinking water is now available at the Al Madina School in Rafah, Gaza. RVF and its partners have engineered and installed a solar-powered desalination unit, which is now fully operational, producing approximately 1,000 liters of potable water per hour. It is already a crucial source of water for drinking and hygiene for the over 6,000 displaced individuals currently sheltering at the school, which was originally built to serve 600 students. The resourcefulness and perseverance of RVF, ETA and UNRWA personnel has ensured that the unit is up and running despite the ongoing conflict. RVF’s team on the ground will continue to work with ETA and UNRWA to oversee the integration of the unit, ensuring its technical functionality and safety. RVF is hoping to get other desalination unites up and running at other schools and public areas in southern Gaza.
