Report: Heavy Rain in the Gaza Strip Brings Threat of Overwhelmed Sewage System

This report is from last week, but it just crossed our timeline. The New Arab reports that the rainy season has hit the Gaza Strip, worsening the plight of 1.7 million Palestinians displaced "due to Israel's war on the besieged coastal enclave."

So the streets in which the Palestinians were celebrating on October 7 might be overrun with sewage? That's a shame.

Gosh, their decision to attack Israel is looking worse and worse all the time https://t.co/pQq4oxAyN2

The key word is rainy SEASON. Probably should have thought that through. Well, everything actually.

Allahu Akhbar, Allah is giving them water. We can all stop sending them water now. Mashallah.

And to think: Hamas could have spent billions on improving the local infrastructure, but instead spent it building their Terror Tunnel Network.

Hamas somehow thinks it's the UN's job to take care of the Palestinian people.

No such problems on Oct 6

It's a shame that Hamas spent all of the international aid on rockets and tunnels instead of infrastructure for civilians.

Look, I don’t know which of the two you can fully blame. To say Israel’s War is nonsense. Hamas attacked civilians at a concert then went on and attacked more civilians. They started this attack, now they want to blame someone else. Nope, not buying it.

Maybe don't support a terrorist group who massacred 1,400 people.

You know, there might be a learning opportunity here.

If your Hamass elected government used that funding for storm water management instead of building tunnels.... elections have consequences.

Electing people who believe raping, torturing, kidnapping, and slaughtering innocent women and children simply because of their race is apparently a bad idea. They chose their fate. They rejected peace and have rejected peace for a century. No one to blame except themselves.

At least she's only wet and not raped and murdered or held hostage for 50+ days.
