An Al Jazeera commentary piece states that the "ecocide" consequences of the Gaza war have spread to Israel, with toxic waste impacting Israeli public health.
Untreated sewage and contaminated rubble from the Gaza Strip are posing a public health threat to Israel, according to the article. The Ashkelon desalination plant in southern Israel has been repeatedly forced to shut down due to high levels of fecal bacteria contamination from Gaza's wastewater. Additionally, Israel has recently begun transporting approximately 60 million tons of Gaza rubble to undisclosed locations in Israel and the West Bank, potentially directly transferring pollutants. The Euro-Med Monitor recently tracked about 100 Israeli trucks daily transporting debris from the Gaza Strip.
