Piles of garbage threaten the displaced people in tents in Rafah with epidemics. The spread of garbage near the tents of the displaced comes in light of the scarcity of safe drinking water used for public hygiene.
Mayor of Rafah: “The municipality has lost control over basic services, especially garbage collection, treatment and drainage of sewage, due to the huge numbers of displaced people and the continuation of the Israeli war.” The need called on the responsible authorities to intervene and place containers to save the displaced from the health disaster.
