RAMALLAH: Clean water is scarce amid a spread of solid waste across the Gaza Strip, the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) has warned Sunday.
‘Shelters are severely overcrowded,’ UNRWA said in a statement.
‘Clean water is scarce. Solid waste is accumulating. Spread of diseases is on the rise,’ it added.
The UN refugee agency said that sanitary conditions are unsustainable in the Palestinian enclave.
‘The situation is catastrophic,’ it warned. ‘UNRWA teams continue working to provide critical aid.’
