Latest Ecological News from Palestine
Israel accused of Polluting Gaza. by : Frank Gardner (BBC News). The Palestinian environment minister, Dr Yousif Abu-Safiya, has accused Israel of pumping waste water and sewage into Palestinian territory in the Gaza Strip. The minister said that Israel had pumped half a million cubic meters of waste water into a riverbed across its border over the last two weeks. After nearly six months of border closures and economic despair, Palestinians living in the Gaza Strip thought life could not get any worse - but it has. According Dr Yousif Abu-Safiya, Israel is pumping 30,000 cubic meters a day of waste water into Gaza Valley. This narrow dried up riverbed runs from Israel across the Gaza Strip and into the Mediterranean. Palestinian officials fear that the next time it rains, the water will wash whatever is in the valley out into the sea. Dr Abu-Safiya says this would pollute the beaches and drive the fish further out to sea where Palestinian fisherman are unable to follow them because of Israel's blockade of the coast. But he said the biggest hazard was from harmful chemicals getting into the Gaza Strip's natural groundwater. He said the underground water was the main water source for 1.25 million Palestinians and if it became polluted, it would be unfit for either human or agricultural use. The minister said this alleged pollution by Israel, violated international agreements and could even threaten the environment of the Mediterranean. BBC News 13/3/2001.
