Funny how all these people have zero concern over how Palestinians support a terrorist group, as designated by the US State Dept, EU, and UN, and none for all the Jews killed, raped, beheaded, and kidnapped, eh?
How Israel’s blockade of Gaza created an environmental catastrophe
As some of the most brutal Israeli airstrikes in recent memory pound the Gaza Strip, it has taken little time for the human consequences of the latest round of hostilities to manifest.
A vivid example came on October 17, when an explosion at the al-Ahli Arab Hospital killed hundreds of Palestinians.
Which was caused by Hamas, but, this Arab propoganda outlet wants people to assume it was those Jews
But the full extent of the violence’s toll, including its impact on Gaza’s festering environmental issues, may take longer to become apparent. Nonetheless, some of the Israeli siege’s effects on Gaza’s environment are already coming into focus.
Among Gaza’s most visible, persistent environmental issues has been a shortage of drinking water.
Don’t dig up water pipes and turn them into rockets.
In 2019, UNICEF reported an alarming set of statistics: 96 percent of the water from Gaza’s aquifer was “unfit for human consumption” while only a tenth of Gazans enjoyed “direct access to safe water.”
Perhaps don’t spend all your money on weapons to kill Jews
The international organisation added that 1.8 million of the territory’s residents — half of them children — needed “some form of humanitarian Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) assistance.”
UNICEF described WASH access as “a basic human right.”
Terrorists need help learning to wash?
While Gaza could once count on desalination plants for a source of drinking water independent of its contaminated aquifer, Israel severed Gazans from the electric grid on October 9, leaving the desalination plants without a power supply.
There are consequences for being terrorists
But some of the greatest costs for the environment — and the Gazans who rely on it — may result from the devastation of infrastructure. A 2022 article by scientists based in Canada, the United States, and Gaza itself argued that “the destruction of Gaza’s infrastructure is exacerbating environmental health impacts.”
The article cited instances of Israeli operations that damaged farmland, contributed to disease outbreaks and pollution, and hindered climate change mitigation and waste management.
Does anyone possibly think Hamas gives a crap about ‘climate change’? Really, this whole the New Arab piece is designed to influence Useful Idiots in the Western world.
