End of March in Rafah: Deluge of Sewage Kills Villagers

A Palestinian child who drowned in the sewage water
"Hundreds of families have fled from their houses in the village of Umm Al Nasser, in northern Gaza, after a tsunami struck, leaving many dead and many missing. Adding to the misery, houses are submerged, drowning in waste water from a ruptured water treatment reservoir. The burst flooded the village with the noxious sewage, rendering the area foul-smelling and exposing residents to potentially serious health risks.
This happened awhile ago and you have to scroll down to see the story, but it is one of the most horrific reminders of the way Palestinians are forced to live under this Israeli Occupation. Linda
