Highlights pollution of the seawater in Gaza
Sewage flows from an outlet into the sea in the Shati refugee camp, in Gaza City 05 July 2017 . Gazan people are reportedly falling ill from drinking water, highlighting the humanitarian issues facing the Palestinian enclave that the UN says could become uninhabitable by 2020. The Palestinian Environment Quality Authority said in a statement that the pollution of the seawater has gone beyond 50 percent. The lack of sufficient fuel to operate sewage treating facilities, forced the community to send wastewater into the Mediterranean Sea. (Photo by Majdi Fathi/NurPhoto)
