760 Environmental Attacks
The Palestinian Environmental Quality Authority announced that it had documented 760 Israeli attacks since the start of the year, including the destruction of agricultural land and vegetation, pollution from waste, and attacks on water resources and livestock. These included the uprooting of around 100,000 olive trees by the end of September, with losses estimated at approximately $67 million. In Gaza, the Authority said the assault had left between 61 and 68 million tonnes of rubble, destroyed 82% of agricultural land and 97% of fruit trees, and damaged 84% of water and sanitation infrastructure. It also reported that 120,000 cubic metres of wastewater were leaking each day, while cases of watery diarrhoea had risen 36-fold and cases of jaundice 384-fold. Describing the violations as environmental war crimes, the Authority called on the international community to take action.
