Palestinian scientists warn of environmental consequences of Israeli offensive on Gaza
scientists warn of environmental catastrophe from the Israeli offensive on Gaza, including destruction of infrastructure, contamination of aquifers, soil damage, and widespread land pollution.
Palestinian scientists have warned of a severe environmental catastrophe caused by the Israeli offensive on Gaza, noting the destruction of more than 80% of vital infrastructure and water supplies, contamination of main aquifers by munitions, irreversible damage to soil, and pollution of dozens of acres of farmland. This has led to poisoned drinking water, increased disease outbreaks, and long‑term genetic and health impacts that will require decades of remediation and billions of dollars to address.
