“Gaza is suffering from an acute electricity crisis. The power supply in Gaza is interrupted for seven hours a day on average. The consequences for public services, especially the primary health-care system, are devastating…fuel reserves for hospital generators keep drying up.”
“Stocks of essential medical supplies have reached an all-time low…"The state of the health-care system has never been worse."”
“The lack of proper sanitation and certain agricultural practices are polluting Gaza’s aquifer. Only about 60% of the territory’s 1.4 million inhabitants are connected to a sewage collection system…. Because the aquifer is over-exploited, drinking water in most of Gaza contains high levels of nitrate, chloride and salt. The water is unfit for consumption and the risk of contracting an infectious disease is high.”
The Red Cross concludes, “The closure must be lifted so that the 4.5 billion U.S. dollars pledged by donor countries over a year ago can be put to use.” ("Red Cross: Israel's Blockade of Gaza is Illegal," Israel-palestinenews.org, June 14, 2010)
