Sewage system at risk of flooding as Israel restricts entry of tools to repair it: Analysis

Amjad Shawa, director of the Palestinian NGOs network, has said Gaza is unequipped to deal with the approaching storm as Israel continues to restrict the entry of humanitarian aid.

Shawa told Al Jazeera from Gaza City that only 40,000 tents out of a needed 300,000 were allowed in. Tools to repair the sewage system and the water networks were also restricted, raising concerns that the wastewater lagoon might be flooded.

He added that sewage and solid waste were at risk of contaminating drinking water as well as people’s food supplies, raising the risk of diseases at a time when 2.2 million people are crammed into 43 percent of the Gaza Strip, while the remaining 57 percent lies beyond Israel’s so-called yellow line.

“If Israel were to allow the entrance of supplies, things would be different. But for now, it has done all it can to make life more complicated for Palestinians,” Shawa said.
