NGO warns of severe environmental catastrophe in Gaza due to collapsed waste management system

Warmongering has led to collapse of Gaza's waste management system, creating a dire environmental crisis and serious health risks.

The Palestinian Non-Governmental Organizations Network (PNGO) warns that the ongoing Israeli occupation aggression and the complete collapse of environmental infrastructure in the Gaza Strip has resulted in a catastrophic environmental situation. Hundreds of thousands of tons of solid and medical waste have accumulated on streets and near shelter entrances, with toxic leachate seeping into agricultural lands and groundwater. The buildup of waste has created a dire environmental situation, signaling the spread of epidemics and posing a direct threat to public health—particularly for patients, children, women, and the elderly. Random burning of waste has increased, and medical and household waste mixes as official landfills cease operations and collection systems collapse. The result has been the accumulation of over 600,000 tons of waste and the near-total collapse of the waste management system, directly threatening Gazans' right to health, dignity, and a safe environment.
