Haaretz: Mouse and rat surge in Gaza settlements
A report from the Israeli newspaper "Haaretz" highlights the increasing spread of mice and rats in Gaza Envelope settlements. The phenomenon initially appeared in the military zones east of the Gaza Strip, then spread to residential and agricultural areas. This is attributed to war conditions, destruction, rubble, and ongoing military activity, which created suitable environments for rodent proliferation, with losses reaching up to a 70% decrease in the production of some crops. Additionally, more than ten settlers have been reported to have been bitten by rats. The ongoing issue threatens public health and agriculture, amid deteriorating sanitation services and increasing environmental damage caused by the war and the expansion of Israeli military operations within the Strip.
