TEL AVIV, October 29. /TASS/. Israel has resumed water supplies to the Gaza Strip via the second of the three pipelines, with daily water supplies to the enclave reaching around 28.5 million liters, The Times of Israel reported on Sunday, citing the coordinator of government activities in Palestinian territories.

According to the official, this is nearly half of what was pumped to the Gaza Strip before the conflict and this much is enough to meet humanitarian needs of the Gaza population.

Tensions flared up in the Middle East after Hamas militants from the Gaza Strip attacked Israeli territory. Hamas views its attack as a response to Israeli authorities’ steps against the Al-Aqsa Mosque on Jerusalem’s Temple Mount. Israel declared a total blockade of the Gaza Strip and launched bombardments of the enclave and some areas in Lebanon and Syria. Clashes are also reported in the West Bank.
