The Gaza Strip grapples with a major garbage, health crisis

The Gaza Strip is grappling with a major garbage and health crisis, particularly evident in areas like Deir al-Balah where displaced families live near growing rubbish piles. Destroyed infrastructure has forced authorities to rely on unsafe temporary dumps, exacerbating sanitation problems. This situation is leading to poor sanitation and pest infestations across the region, raising serious health concerns for residents. Despite limited humanitarian aid, the accumulation of waste poses significant public health risks.
