In the Shadow of Israel's War, Displaced Palestinians in Gaza Face a New Enemy: Mountains of Garbage
17:51 17.12.2024 (Updated: 17:54 17.12.2024) Since October 2023, the Israel Defense Forces have been carrying out their so-called Iron Sword in the Gaza Strip in response to a Hamas attack on October 7 of that year. The death toll from the IDF attacks has exceeded 45,000 in Gaza, according to the local health ministry. Most of the territory's 2.4 million people have been forcibly displaced.
Forced from their home in northern Gaza, Ibrahim Matar's family has found temporary refuge in Khan Younis, but their makeshift camp sits beside overflowing waste.
The sewage system, crippled by the ongoing Israeli war, and the lack of garbage collection have created a breeding ground for disease.
"The situation here is very difficult, and there is no other place to live," Ibrahim told Sputnik, describing the relentless insects and harsh conditions of their five-month stay in the "tent city" next to mountains of garbage.
