Israeli authority has deprived the villages of Brukin and Kufr Al-Deek, west of Salfit district, of potable water for the fifth day on Sunday, locals reported.

They said that the sewage water of the nearby Ar'il settlement had polluted the underground water wells of both villages, adding that the IOA cut the water supplies for about 9,000 people.

The sources said that the Israeli national water company Mekorot's supplies to both villages do not meet the citizens' needs.

They said that the IOA controls the rich underground water wells in Salfit then sells it to the citizens.
