Amid huge shortages of food, medicine and clean war in Gaza, a resident in the war-torn territory has demonstrated a method for extracting water from mud in a video shared by our colleagues at Al Jazeera Arabic.
The process involves collecting wet mud into a cloth, squeezing the liquid into a bowl and then filtering the liquid through a funnel made of a plastic bag and cotton.
From there, the container holding the dirty water is placed at a height on a stool or table. One end of a strip of cloth is dipped in the container, and the other is placed on the lip of a second container placed on the floor.
As the water is absorbed from the higher container, gravity draws down the liquid into the second container, where it gathers as cleaner water.
