News | February 25, 2021 FCG Building Hope For The Future With A Water Purification Project In Gaza: Aim Of Ensuring The People Of Gaza Have Enough Drinking Water In Future FCG Finnish Consulting Group has been chosen to develop the water supply in Gaza, which will further strengthen FCG’s presence in the Palestinian territories. The project is worth around EUR 900,000 and is funded by Agence Française de Développement (AFD). One of the biggest challenges Palestinians face is in the availability of drinking and irrigation water, particularly in rural areas. Climate change is predicted to significantly reduce rainfall in Palestine in the future. Last year alone population growth and climate change in the Palestinian territories resulted in an estimated water shortage of 271 million cubic metres. One cubic metre equals one thousand litres.
