Sewage systems have failed in Gaza, leaving ‘catastrophic situation’

Assem Alnabih, a journalist in Gaza told Al Jazeera Arabic on Wednesday that the situation in the besieged enclave is “catastrophic”.

While people are dehydrated, all basic services have collapsed due to Israel’s siege and continued bombing. 

“Sewage is covering the streets, flies can be seen everywhere. The only solution now is a ceasefire and for aid to be delivered,” he said.

“Describing the situation does not do justice to how bad it is now,” he added.
