“Due to the shortage of power supply and the intermittent power outages in the besieged Gaza Strip caused by the Israeli blockade, municipalities in the coastal enclave started today pumping sewage into the sea, according to the Palestinian news agency WAFA.
For more than three weeks now, Israeli occupation authorities have shut down the Karm Abu Salem border crossing with Gaza, the only gate through which Israel allows the entry of basic commodities into the Strip, including badly needed fuel and gas.”
