Israeli military attacks have wrecked 70 perc ent of the water wells and 50 percent of the sewage pumps in northern Gaza, according to Beit Lahiya mayor Alaa al-Attar, worsening sanitary conditions.
At the same time, Israeli attacks have destroyed “all agricultural crops in the town [Beit Lahiya] which is considered the primary food basket for the Strip,” said al-Attar in comments carried by the Anadolu news agency.
Aid groups say the lack of clean water, nutrition, sanitation and reliable healthcare throughout Gaza is causing infectious diseases, including hepatitis A, to spread in the enclave.
