Gaza water repair warning
The United Nations warned that the wastewater-contaminated Sheikh Radwan pond in Gaza City could overflow after Israeli authorities refused to allow in equipment for a repair project developed by UNICEF at a cost of $3 million. As the rainy season approaches, flooding could inundate displaced people’s tents and heighten the risk of disease; nearly one million people are at risk because of deteriorating sanitation and a shortage of clean water. Heavy rains recently flooded tens of thousands of tents, and four people, including three children, were killed when a sand embankment collapsed onto them. UN agencies called for repair equipment to be allowed in urgently.
