Qalandia Illegal Dumping Site Closed

The operation was carried out in the presence of personnel from the Quality Authority, the Jerusalem Suburbs Police, and representatives from the Ministry of Public Works and Housing, with the aim of reducing environmental and health risks caused by the accumulation of illegal waste. The Authority also emphasized the importance of cooperation among official entities and reporting waste smuggling activities to protect natural resources and public health. It is noteworthy that Palestinian law prohibits the import or smuggling of hazardous waste.
