Gaza Settlements Face Unusual Rodent Surge
Rats and mice have spread unprecedentedly in the sites and settlements around the Gaza Strip, amid intensive Israeli efforts to combat them following increasing complaints about their reaching homes and damaging property. Estimates indicate that heavy rains during the past year, along with destruction in Gaza, have contributed to the proliferation of rodents, with discussions about the impact of debris and the absence of residents during the war. Despite increased control operations, the phenomenon has not been completely eradicated, and it is believed that climatic, agricultural, and reconstruction activities are among the contributing factors. There is currently no conclusive evidence that the rodents came directly from the Gaza Strip. The problem is also worsening within Gaza itself, where reports have documented the spread of rodents inside displacement camps, amid the deterioration of basic services.
