GAZA
— On Tuesday, Yahya Al-Sarraj, the mayor of Gaza, revealed that Gaza's
municipalities have lost 70 percent of their water sources due to the
continuous shelling by the Israeli occupation, which has persisted for eighteen
days. This relentless assault has caused complete power outages and led to the
shutdown of Gaza's sole power generation station.

Grave concerns: untreated polluted
water (sewage) leaking into the sea
Sarraj
also expressed grave concerns about untreated
polluted water (sewage) leaking
into the sea. This poses a severe environmental and food crisis along the
shores of Gaza, potentially resulting in significant contamination of the
Mediterranean Sea, Al Mamlaka TV reported.
Most sewage stations are now out of
service
He
went on to describe the dire situation with sewage, where most sewage stations
are now out of service due to power outages or direct and indirect targeting.
He emphasized, "We are unable to manage waste due to the ongoing shelling,
which raises worries about the spread of epidemics and diseases."
Furthermore,
he shared the collection of solid waste has become a major challenge for
municipalities, as it cannot be handled as required. Waste has begun to
accumulate in many neighborhoods, causing significant inconvenience to citizens
and raising concerns about the potential spread of epidemics and diseases.
