Since Oct. 7, 2023 and until the date of this article, Gaza is still being subjected to air, sea, and ground bombardment in a cruel war targeting the lives of its residents and all aspects of their lives therein, including the destruction of infrastructure and buildings of all kinds, houses, apartments, water, and food, agricultural lands, roads, and all services, especially health services (hospitals and health centers), educational services (schools and universities), the economy, factories and shops, and the viable environment. They were subjected to systematic destruction, starting with the indiscriminate bombing of civilians, which led to the killing, wounding, and injuring of tens of thousands, and the expulsion and displacement of most of the population internally, not to mention the stifling siege that prevented the arrival of food and medicine, cut off water and electricity, and stopped the fuel needed to pump and desalinate water, treat wastewater, sewage and solid waste, and run bakeries, factories, means of transportation, and medical devices. The environment in Gaza also suffers from physical, chemical and biological
pollution resulting from all sorts of ammunitions used in bombing, sewage mixed with drinking water and accumulated solid waste.
