A Heavy Burden Amid Limited Resources

Gaza Municipality: Displacement Crisis Worsens the Disaster and Threatens Collapse of Service Systems
 

Gaza Municipality has confirmed that the continued displacement of hundreds of thousands of residents from the eastern areas of the city and the North Gaza Governorate to the western parts of Gaza City is exacerbating the humanitarian disaster and poses a serious risk of the imminent collapse of essential service systems.

The Municipality explained that the displacement crisis places a tremendous burden on both the municipality and its service infrastructure particularly water supply, wastewater management, and solid waste collection especially in light of the severe shortage of critical resources such as fuel, machinery, pipelines, and various materials needed to confront the ongoing disaster.

It further noted that the city is facing a major public health and environmental crisis due to water shortages, the accumulation of over 250,000 tons of solid waste in the heart of the city, and the extensive destruction inflicted by the occupation on municipal infrastructure and private property.

Gaza Municipality calls on the international community to urgently intervene and provide the necessary emergency resources and support to enable the municipality to continue delivering essential services and to help avert a disaster that threatens human life.
