Last update: 8 hours agoWater & Climate in Jordan-linked region: A new study warns climate shocks are pushing Gaza’s fragile systems “closer to collapse,” with extreme heat, damaged infrastructure and disease outbreaks worsening humanitarian conditions. War’s environmental footprint: Research estimates the Israel-Gaza war has generated about 33 million tonnes of CO₂e so far, including emissions from active military operations and the carbon cost of rebuilding. Alternative water source: Jordan researchers say air-conditioner condensate could be a largely overlooked urban water supply, with tests finding low dissolved solids and heavy metals—potentially useful for cleaning and irrigation. Water security policy: Bahrain’s water minister flagged attacks on water infrastructure affecting Bahrain and Jordan, calling for stronger protection and resilience planning.
