One month after the end of the fierce fighting that devastated this Palestinian refugee camp, the ICRC began to restore access to drinking water. Two reservoirs, each with a capacity of 60 cubic metres, have already been renovated. Chlorination equipment has been set up for treating the water in four wells and a generator and pump have been installed at another one.
