akarta, NU Online
"Dhompet Dhuafa" (DD) charity institution will build artesian wells and clean water installations for the people of Gaza, Palestine, to enable them to get clean water, a spokesman said.

"Now the people of Gaza are suffering under the pressure of Israel. Their clean water supply comes from Israel," DD Program Director Arifin Purwakananta said here Monday.<br />
Gaza residents are in constant fear that their clean water supply will be stopped any time by Israel or be poisoned , he said.

DD plans to make five to ten artesian wells and clean water installations to meet the Gaza people`s need for clean water, he added.

Last Friday (June 4), DD sent four volunteers, consisting of medical personnel and a journalist to Gaza from Jakarta via Egypt.

Another organization actively sending humanitarian aid to Gaza is MER-C (Medical Emergency Rescue Committee).

In an article entitled "More Than Just A Massacre" published by Australia`s ABC on its website, Michael Brull wrote that the recent Gaza-bound Freedom Flotilla was bringing water filtration equipment to Gaza.
