Your home is destroyed and now your left with nothing. What can you do now? It's been almost seven months when a massive rush of human waste attacked Gaza. It's a poor village and filled up four feet high. Five people have died including animals of, goats, sheep and chickens. About 1,000 people had to be evacuated. People are afraid to go back and people are left not knowing what to do. This started with a sewage overflow that spread 100 acres. People are fearing that another sewage disater might happen. They are trying to fix the problem by digging up outlet ponds for the waste. It's more difficult because more waste are coming in than going out.
Israel is making it harder to fix the problem. They have limited supplies coming in. The supplies they need such as, metal pipes, welding machines are not allow in and they believe it will help fix this problem. It will be more difficult because it is also reducing fuel, gasoline and electrical power due to rocket barrages. Everything is becoming backed up and people are using rain as their water support. They Red Cross are lending a hand to help create more pits after the Palestinian lost their rights to Hamas back in 2006.
I liked this article a lot because it was descriptive. It gave a lot of information on the outcome and what will happen on trying to improve sewage overflow. It's a major disater for these residents living in Gaza because they are left with absolutely nothing. They are in poverty and they are also in a country where war is going on and the government is trying to fight for power. They are being cut off from major sources which makes life that much harder. Will these countries ever be able to improve on how they live or will they be left living in fear and hope?
