Rising Rodent Numbers in Gaza Settlements
The settlements surrounding Gaza are experiencing a rising phenomenon of rat and mouse infestations, caused by the conditions of war, destruction, and military activity in the area. The problem began in military sites east of Gaza Strip and has since spread to residential and agricultural areas, leading to damage of crops by up to 70%. Some residents have been bitten or scratched by rats, and there have been cases of eviction and panic inside homes. This phenomenon is attributed to the deterioration of environmental services and the accumulation resulting from destruction, with expectations of increased rodent populations due to the lack of waste collection and the expansion of Israeli military operations in the Gaza Strip.
