  • Palestine, like other countries of the Middle East Region, suffers from many momentous challenges that make Palestinians’ life difficult. One of the most significant problems that face Palestinian is the exacerbating of the water crisis, which has huge effects on the economy, especially in the agriculture sector. Water scarcity happened due to many factors, but Israeli occupation is the main responsible for this crisis by controlling water supplies and depriving millions of Palestinians of the minimum level of water recommended by the principles of the International human rights conventions and peace treaties. This study aims to demonstrate the water situation in Palestine and finds out major challenges that face the country. Also, this paper evaluates the affects of water crisis on agriculture sector.
