According to the WaSH Monitoring Programme, Israelis use 85% of the water available from the mountain aquifer in the West Bank, and 82% of the water from the coastal aquifer under Gaza.Generally, the availability and quality of services is considerably worse in the Gaza strip when compared to the West Bank.
