In Gaza, residents face a significant waste crisis following the recent Israel-Hamas ceasefire. With municipal services in shambles, uncollected rubbish has become rampant, fostering unsanitary conditions that attract vermin. To manage the heaps of trash, many locals resort to burning it, which further exacerbates pollution and health risks, particularly for children. The conflict's aftermath left many homes in ruins and critical resources, like water and electricity, in dire shortage, compounding the challenges faced by the returning population.
