It is
noteworthy that the crisis of solid waste is a global crisis, it is not
confined to a particular country without the other, but belong to all countries.
For decades, Palestinian
territories have serious violations of the environment, mainly because of closure
of the main roads, cut off fuel supply needed to transport solid waste, and unsanitary
sites for solid waste dumping at emergency time.
At the level of
the Gaza Strip. The final disposal of solid waste are done by unhealthy ways,
that can cause negative effects on the environment and public health. Prompting
residents to lodge complaints on the municipalities, on a the accumulate waste
in residential areas, especially rural ones, to several factors including: lack
of funding in the municipal services, hygiene, lack of information on adverse
effects of open dumps, lack of appropriate technology for the disposal of waste.
These are some photos taken in Beit Lahia dumping site. You will
see the blatant encroachment on the environment without taking
any of the necessary precautions when burning solid
waste.
