of the, [000:00:00;00] the israel as war on garza has caused the major advantage to both a built and natural environment. toxic chemicals and explosives rained down on the strip. sanitation of water treatment systems are destroyed. how much environmental damage is the will causing? this is inside storage.

the outcomes of the program, i'm adrian sending an palestinians continue to suffer in israel is brutal on concept. tens of thousands killed and injured with the toll rising daily. one of the most intense foaming campaigns since world war 2 will leave not just a legacy of grief regardless people. but one of the last thing, physical damage to the environment in which they live. the collapse of water and sanitation systems and is really threats to flip the tunnels underneath garza could be catastrophic for fresh water supplies and reserves thousands upon thousands of his really on the west and supply bombs dropped on guns, bring not just death, but a toxic legacy from explosive chemicals, dustin debris from destroyed buildings, pollute the air and ground. israel is military offensive and gaza is leaving

a new layer of toxic chemicals and its soil out into the was left behind off to the many. was that his ways before we'll be discussing the environmental cost of the war with our guests and just a few moments. but 1st report from colorado like military vehicles, the production of weapons and equipment and supply chain. do you and says israel to up to 40 to bombs an hour and gaza during the 1st few weeks of will, damaging or completely destroying more than 60 percent of homes is also attacked. water treatment systems and polluted war to supplies, leading to sewage being dumped directly into the sea. now there are reports, these ready military is pumping sea water into the network of underground tunnels used by him us by flooding. the foundation of the guys that it can mean i the more the problems to the already existing problem see up it's very saw by being saw. it is

a tremendous thing for the civilians to have all this flat under the nice bodies renews will all very much aware of what they are doing, but they really don't get human rights groups of august of accused israel of using white phosphorus, the toxic substance not only cause a severe burns that can remain in the soil for years, causing long term damage. you have heavy industry palms, then you handle the pollution and heavy industry that gets released into the environment and control the way that the residual pollution that pays every aspect of life in gaza is affected by some form of pollution. and with the start of the rainy season, the threat to people and the environment from disease as the drain uncontaminated water is only set to west of to 16. yes. on the is really siege. palestinians had been forced to adopt about 60 percent of the population, use solar energy to power the homes, but is ready,

bombing has damaged. we'll just story. tens of thousands of buildings, many with solar panels. it will take us to clean up the military pollution and contamination of the soil war to n. s. and the carbon emissions from its reconstruction will come at the cost to all forms of life in gaza. car leg out a 0 for inside story. along with allegations of genocide, israel is also accused of committing eco side of devastating proportions and casa for all day to find equal side means mass damage or destruction to the environment, to the detriment of life. committed with full knowledge of the risks. the time was 1st use during the vietnam war by sciences concerned up the us government's use of millions of liters of toxic how the site, the agent orange, which caused widespread both deformities. the chemical was used to create a forest that gave via comb, finances, compa, and food. only a few countries, the fine eco side as a crime. since wash as well in ukraine, there's been pressure in europe to make it

a will crime which could be tried at the international criminal court. so let's bring it out. guess for today's discussion from romano in the occupied westbank were joined by another much delani published to the and director of eco piece, middle east. the organization brings together jordanian, published, and in that is really environmentalists to promote shad protection of their environmental heritage from rough and southern guys mullin. but the will to hits the does have program coordination units published in, in a booster or on top of pharmacy. in other words, he's the engineer who overseas water supplies to gaza at also with the amount of how do if mice direct to a general of the climate change section of the palestinian authority's environment quality authority. she's just represented promise time at cop 28 in july. we'll welcome to you will not let's begin with you. come we confidently describe what

israel is doing in gaza with it's bombing as eco side. yes, thank you. and thank you for it for, for hosting us. and, uh, i would say yes. what, uh, what is happening at the moment is a, is an equal side. uh, definitely the environmental out. look at the moment. uh, is exactly exacerbating day by day. uh, the original condition before october, 7th, and uh before uh, the aggressions on guys has to have already been in a very biased situation. already, garza had suffered from a, for you to underground voted where 97 percent of the aquifer was not suitable for human consumption. uh we were speaking about uh, tremendous uh, problems regarding uh, solid waste and uh, and wastewater treatment due to the uh, shortages of few well, um and, and several other issues. however,

at the moment this situation has been a good days, an excessive basis. uh, we have no information whatsoever about this situation in the south in the north, in terms of the amount of destruction, of infrastructure facilities that support the water supply. and the sensation of the situation in the files is also in the, in a very critical situation where 1900000 people are actually displaced uh and, and confined in a very small surface area. which means we are on the verge of an environmental catastrophe. in terms of the spread of that been damage disease uh, the accumulation of uh, of a corpse is in the street uh, also from the north and limited areas. uh, that's with uh, actually also provide that as a section to,

to pandemic disease has a we're also looking at now we have that ending season has already started. the flooding is, as you might have seen already from, as are bad, yet effigy comes and some areas there are videos the hardest finding. ok also for another website, not, i'm sorry to interrupt what will come on? well, we'll talk some more in just a moment, but i want to give out all the guest johns to have had the site to my one. describe for us the impact of as well as bombing on guns as well to sanitation on hygiene infrastructure. where did godson's get that water before the war? was it safe to drink, given the cause has been subjected to his really bumming many times of the past. and how was sewage dealt with a what state is the sewage infrastructure now of the thank you for this so far. turn it in fact, before the war, the just interested in mainly on, by going through

a job. um that should limited frontage. all this underneath the phones as a result of this and initially glance and benches, the smaller quantitative owned is that you decide to throw the connection before the war, all in one spot on the 75 percent of the village, and investors that they could use the have more thought of for the banking and for a lot of the uses, but the 65 percent of the population there to see sold what the, the for the kids for the kids, the well as the and gaza, the over on the ground water. and this is mitch as he was out into gym, which is a little bit of the same energy in addition of, for the kids before. the 1st in a sort of thing came to phones on guys on the west bank. the majority of the guys

young's the us. sceptics, downsides the sewage disposal phys. yeah, because this is nick. a lot of what you think mainly is a nice place to him for the dates, for the kids to the ground water, which resulted in 97 percent of the equity in goza was unusable. it cannot be used by human being. despise all. this is to say, i need the fax but assuming ones that are sort of jammed up, but assuming it was sort of thing they did and installed this strategic planning to do. you have really did the equity in from one side and to supply the put the thought for that goes in the strategic plans. put in since since 9 seems since 2015. and by the end of 2022,

we had each to that something about 75 percent of the population case managers and 10 units of product of listening. garza and dropbox. now, you know, i days the destruction had been in the sewers. you need to order mainly on the. busy edge of the fluid and the shortage of electricity and lift most of the funding decision out of use. this is to mix val, fortunately before sewage was thought of to floods in the states and create that environment which put them back to the public health. and the environment as was okay. and the last 2 days a moment model is, i'm sorry, i'm sorry to interrupt you one moment. could you just very briefly, if israel carries through and its threat to flood the tunnel network, which runs on because a, a with, with see was a,

what impact would that have on the, on the infrastructure. yeah. and now the, if they will funds these huge quantities of c or so i'm that to me is the does on that's means festival. busy there's an opportunity to this was done by the ends will infiltrate so they've got on board the i'm this is with video with the. ready with more see what the, this is good damage to the i could 5 still are limits that within the events of the coming because the 2nd part of the structure of the story in gaza is a sunday. so that these day as of sunday late, they could collapse and the pleasure of these, if you just wanted there's a voice up and this is well the creative chimes for the buildings and for the things that are stuck done on the move to the relapse and dyslexic,

so not the only they will impact the aquifer and be with them is that for the kids, but also they created it but unity to collapsing, buildings the streets and the infrastructure and the, the, the streets and edits. i do israel as somebody is controlled, causes energy supplies, outs of necessity, thousands of, of have to find alternative sources of power. so the energy, of course, being one of them, what, what impact has the will had on garza's energy infrastructure. a sanction for this question, actually i got this unders each says almost 20 years ago. and at least 6 years old . the sources, nature sources, energy sources, uh, southern problem already presented before the war. and this genocide, i've got the i'm in my hand situation off of this genocide. then all the investments that have been done during the tenant the last and use level distracted

. massive destructive belt of solar panels and solar initiatives of energy and investments provided by the government or the private sector and g o for a small projects on, on board and for extension, a thing of the most of them are destroyed and by and those really destructive or destructive by the, by the, is there any strikes on guy that plus the fuel, the big that the alternate all is the at the feet, the water treatment that the set of mission units, all of the region are already be specific as it has been shut down and the stage also prevents those amounts of that energy to something to do, to finish to station and um, and to any of those people to, to have be specific about energy and the energy sources. so this a,

basically this for hundreds, all of the environment, live aspects and by assign, and energy security, security, walter security, all the environment, california and danger assemblies and most of this stuff, they've got a guy that has been up since december, october, not a i was reading a, a piece of that, i'll just see where they'll call me, which will closer to saying that the was destroyed, every aspect of causes environment. uh certainly, i mean, um we're seeing a collective amount of offsets to uh, to the environment that and so the public health 1st of all, let's not forget that the, is there any is utilizing chemical weapons like white fuss with us? this is the completely, uh, not the only from a humanitarian perspective or that is a dangerous to, through the human human stuff. i'm going to post as well. this is affecting the air

pollution that i didn't do is from a white for sort of bombs is now in the boost here with a new season. we will expect that these are the, is there, as well as the sippy face with betting, which actually unfortunately many people now are collecting, to utilize for thinking. this is a great situation where people might be at the home and thinking and so forth, or that they're collecting personally from the street, from even plastic sheets. and, and this is $11.00 part that's of worrying the other far. that's also people are thinking souls to alter that this i'm treated as have you had mentioned that as most scared he said a nation units are not fulfilled, anything because of the lack of fuel. therefore, people are drinking faulty water, and this is very dangerous to even people who have a kidney and liver diseases are the thinking off for you to the 3rd with this

a sewage elements and wooten born diseases is very high at the moment. this is seeing arising and drop contin, columbus of the children who are suffering the area and, and below the bay area, as well as if there's a danger of parents they pick to infections as well as a hit. but by this a chicken fox, we're seeing those and we'll continue numbers in the chart, says no one you spoke about the fact that isn't affordable or 65 percent of, of people in cars that didn't have access as to the safe drinking water. what would it take to repair garza's water infrastructure? how long would it take? who should pay for its repair and an will god says water supply ever be fully safe given the damage that the that is has been inflicted upon it? yeah. the festival at this moment,

there's no assessment. the accurate assessment of the damage had been to that was the facilities on the infrastructure related to that was on some addition, since most of the area, a lot of not accessible. so the accurate assessment that didn't take place in today's spots rooms and i'm from the what we have seen in the north and in the gaza city. and even in the middle and in the south, the funeral sort of the, with the international doing out of the communities and the war support the scene. and in the last thing is around 750000000 us the lot. i had been spending food as they say it on, so i'll be good in that was out and do a source of infrastructure and 6 of within that because of that now

the majority of these facilities and we have one destination in plants and don't know which is how to use them as the kind of the assist remotely, the infrastructure to the fighting system, then it towards out of damage to get on board. that was that is so many impacted by the from the war activities in the surrounding areas. we don't have accurate information about the uh notice uh was the treatment plan and that he's part of the jump earlier. we didn't have information cleared access information about was the treatment plan. and it's so funny when you're sitting there. but the majority of them 1st start drawing the notice and then goes or has even bused to live or so considering the living or the damages. or we think that's

a piece we need this month is didn't we assess all the infrastructure the was i'm fixing it does. and so i found the image had been and we believe that we needs here to fix the 4th on for the design of the tools and supplies system and was sort of i would just want to make your commentary is related to the your short thing. and uh, its impact on the public has named owns it shows up. according to the judge of son does, the minimum there should be out on saturday, leads at the end of this moment, we didn't start to seem to reach this. uh once it is the majority of the people or is it this one just the thought that they um,

according to the one they called the others around 400000 cases of diseases that very limited to the without all of the shortage of the skin diseases that i have besides a lot of the cases that are being recorded and that shows them. and this is mixed. the problem of the above, the most popular because is more seriously if it's even with the water, is it still to deal with all these cases of the diseases? i'm as the possibilities to be spread because of the cut off the number in the show, the thought is because of the video did environment and then the data city, some dot on vision started and even with his insurance on it. okay. how do you, what would it take to repair the environmental damage rules on, on, does it come, can it ever be repaired?

would it ever be fully habitable again, given the scale of the destruction, as israel deliberately tried to make gaza uninhabitable? do you think i the, from their provision says they want to keep buying my son and, you know, doing black to try and make the type of to the scene is and, but it was the guy that bind, considering guys that as being well, what's that he doesn't have similar budget, different functions because both of them have we'll discuss the problems. but look again that it's much more 100000000 a doing this for it's, it's even the scarcity. what the situation with an invitation of the function of the restriction, the fuel restriction or the absence of life is being done because of that. so basically one basically the best thing for the most important thing they want is just this. 4 life and got to stay in front of the site as well. well,

we knew that we believe and that's but in the ceiling, people over the days and over the, the centers we have the 2 legs and rebuild. i don't believe that i still continue, but the price is going to be so high. i work as long as the action of the service of done for in the for the other patient. i'm the ition and, and it's all righty as a patient because we, i have come to that i situated in the, in the mean region, which is all there is a negative impact. the final change when we started to make this as a station, i'm a physician. we loved the vision as the 1st henry and the 1st challenge of excessive base. if i have seen him resistance against the side actions i'm looking on gave him specifically climate action on stable environment. it's because of the nation by them as human may disasters. and to be at that i'm the genocide of the word. so i faxed everything. it's possible the older fans have to be changed when

we've done for having a mitigation. so now you to a for $24.00 d, we had the energy to be operated in gaza or a certain percent, but not. and what percentage, what, what is the sign that that needed to be signed? because we have to stop some busy, you know, we have nothing. we were building a 9 or 5 years ago in the uh, for the facilities um and you can still use the reviews on any patient that they do, but no big on the what is left there. what kind of facility, what kind of times we should be signing the 0 from this graph to start to build a city, the whole city is under damaged with only the come on barely and be in the, the, for the surface to work on or the wiring sustan's and hiding station will do station and the bulk of the thing to do stuff to do to present to be the unable to be acting culture affects the people. um, oh no,

no infrastructure. we are the existing one. even the basic internet i think is missing there. so the environment and is in danger, the class action is being fine. fine. i think the last one could be as a look at that. i did. i'm sorry to interrupt your time is, is, is fast running out. i just want to put one more question to another, not to be talked about where you talked about that, but the, the impact that as well as bombing this out on air quality and cause of the use of white phosphorus. uh, the dust from collapsed building. some of which would have contained asbestos. what about unexploded ordnance? but how much of a threat does that post of public health and rebuilding efforts and with some of the buildings destroyed by israel is booming. where does all the toxic rubble go when the car, the time actually comes to rebuild? so this is a very good question. we don't know,

and when the time comes to the bills, we'd like also to understand what are the conditions of the, the construction in gaza and how that would be. and also how much is a government and the, the political stuff up and the security stuff of or for he been think when in a but for a very busy and the 1st of all of, with the lack of space in, in gaza already there was the difficulties to deal with this on his way side to deal with the uh, with domestic photos waste. um as the there were several plans even before to look into and basically waste the energy projects and how feasible they are. because already there was the shortage in space because the goal is that is one of the most condensed and hook you up

a few late to the areas the on our. so finding gas space to deal with all this construction material and waste is that, is there any question about what i'm thinking is that there's been as, as i do mention we, we are a nation is, this is a gene to build and it's 15 to, to find the be innovative to find solutions and it has been a 7, a startup cuz uh in the past, right as to the cycle. and that's basically the damage function back to you to experience allows us to get another i'm, we're out of time many things indeed to all of you, not a national, not even my one, but we and i do, it's nice and thank you for watching. you can see the program again at any time by visiting our website about 0 dot com for further discussion. join us about facebook page. that's facebook dot com, forward slash page right inside story, and you can join the conversation on the x i handle at a inside story from me. i agree instead of going to the whole team here in doha,

change in the streets because of the sense of urgency that we have. if we don't know more and more lives of voices, you don't often hear problem. nations do stand with paulo spine, it's the same struggle share of displacement. connect with our community and talking to conversations you find elsewhere, you see where the political establishment is in terms of justifying genocide, brand new episodes of the stream on which is your president biden says, one to 2 state solution for palestinians and israelis. what does anybody believe it's doable? what this is real for? i'm gonna say it back to us foreign policy. and what are the long term consequences for the region and the world? a quizzical look at us politics, the bottom line. it is a tenant of journalists to produce objective these problems, which is true. i don't think that there is a fair objective, any partial, a presentation. the listening post covers how the news is come. we know what is

happening in our region. we know how to get some places that others tend on fear god, by the youth on purpose. as far as the are waving, you tell the story is what can make a difference the the hello until mccrae. this is the news. our life from the coming up in the next 60 minutes is around pounds gone. so with strikes, targeting houses and schools and con eunice. dozens of people have been pulled from the problem. un secretary general describes the world counsellor as unprecedented
