| Heavy Rain in the Gaza Strip Brings Threat of Overwhelmed Sewage System | |
| 2023-11-29 | |
| [Twitchy] This report is from last week, but it just crossed our timeline. The New Arab reports that the rainy season has hit the Gaza Strip, worsening the plight of 1.7 million Palestinians displaced "due to Israel's war on the besieged coastal enclave." So the streets in which the Palestinians were celebrating on October 7 might be overrun with sewage? That's a shame. Might be over run with sewage? How can they tell?

| #2 Question: An since Rain has always happened from time to time in the area. Then wouldn't the sewer designers have taken into account the Human and Rain Drainage demands? So since rain has always happened in cycles and we are total 100's of 1000's have fled the GAZA area. Therefore, wouldn't there be a lot less Human use of the Sewers? So it seems this is a Non issue, unless Hamas is also using the sewers. |
