The waste management system in Gaza has collapsed, the UN warned in a new report.
“There is no access to the major landfills, and waste accumulates at more than 140 temporary dumping sites,” the UN development programme for the Palestinian People has said.
The UN warned that the collapse of waste collection poses “serious health and environmental risks, including a spike in diarrheal illness and in acute respiratory infections”.
