In 2021, United Hands Relief aimed to fulfill its Sustainable Development Goal of providing safe and clean water by digging and establishing seventeen main water wells and installing seventeen purification units providing a sustainable source of safe water to the most vulnerable and in-need places across Gaza, such as hospitals, schools, and poor neighborhoods. The neighborhoods in which the wells were constructed are Bait Lahya, Bait-Hanoon, Khan Younis, Rafah-Iskanabiad, Al-Zawayda, Al-Qarara and Al-Bureig.
The Gaza Strip has been facing immense challenges related to the lack of clean water, sanitation, and hygiene, which pose significant health risks to its population of over 2 million people. Children are dying from water-related diseases. A lack of clean safe drinking water is the biggest threats to life of those living in poverty.
