(ANSAmed) - PRATO, APRIL 30 - ''Gaza is an isolated area poor in resources, entirely dependent on the exterior, even simply to feed its people. The main resource it requires to live, water, is no exception,'' photographer Massimo Berruti said about his 'Gaza: Eau Miracle'. The photo reportage focuses on one of the main problems that the one million residents of the crowded Gaza Strip have to deal with. Crushed by a lengthy embargo and victim of continued attacks, Gazans suffer countless difficulties simply in trying to survive. The issue is the focus of a Phototalk with Berruti on May 3 at the Mediterraneo Downtown festival in Prato at 6:30 PM in the former San Giovani church. Berruti focused on the continuing deterioration of water supplies in the enclave, due to ''in the past, the underground was the main source of drinking water, but years ago the water table began to absorb water from the polluted sea, contaminating the small amount of fresh water that was still available''.
    He added that ''the town councils are not able to provide drinking water to their citizens, and so people have to buy it themselves. Filtered water can cost as must as 4.50 USD per cubic meter and few people can afford this. After Operation Protective Edge in the summer of 2014, the situation grew worse: many water and electrical facilities were seriously damaged, leading to an emergency. No way out has yet been found.'' ''The survival of the entire younger generation - the most numerous, fragile and exposed - is under threat,'' Berruti warned. (ANSAmed).
