the municipality of gaza announced it has to halt all waste collection and sewage treatment operations because of the war…..many have said it already but the long-lasting impact this war is going to have on the health of palestinians in gaza can’t be overstated. i think about water stations being targeted by israeli bombers, about the millions of displaced palestinians sharing limited bathrooms, about bisan sharing that she’s been very sick. i think about how contagious covid still is even with normal access to resources like clean water, medication, masks, i think about how many are rightfully concerned about the transmission rates in the us and other countries with relaxed restrictions. where are those people now???
