Epidemics and diseases looming up in Gaza Strip

Epidemics and diseases looming up in Gaza Strip


Gaza Strip, 27, February, 2008- (PCAS)

The water authority in the Gaza Strip has warned
of severe epidemics and disease due to water
pollution. This will be happening due to the
Israeli ban of entering antiseptic and ant germs
materials needed for water treatment.

Head of water authority, Munbzer Shoblaq,
said in a press conference that water will be
polluted if Israeli will prevent these materials
into Gaza strip for at least the two coming days.

He added in his talk, "We gave orders of
suspending work in 52 water wells due to the
lack of chlorine material. Thus, we issues
instructions for civilians to boil water before drink,"

About 140 out of 170 wells are negatively
influenced by the Israeli procedures during this
siege imposed by June 207.
About 30% of
people get treated water while other 30% don't
get water in easy ways.

Gaza Strip consumes about 60.000 litter
of chlorine for water and the available amount
is less than 24.000 that might run out in
couple of days.

It's worth mentioning that Israel caused a
fatal human disaster in the last January as
some waste water pumps stopped thus waste
water flooded some areas mid of Gaze.
