Human Rights Watch has accused Israel of committing "acts of genocide" in Gaza by deliberately depriving Palestinian civilians there of adequate access to water.
It says Israel's actions include intentionally damaging water and sanitation infrastructure.
The campaign group says this has probably caused thousands of deaths, which it says is also tantamount to "committing the crime against humanity of extermination".
Israel rejected HRW's report as "propaganda".
The 179-page report says that "since October 2023, Israeli authorities have deliberately obstructed Palestinians' access to the adequate amount of water required for survival in the Gaza Strip".
It says Israel intentionally damaged infrastructure, including solar panels powering treatment plants, a reservoir, and a spare parts warehouse, while also blocking fuel for generators.
