APAwire - APAwire CLIENTS ONLY, Gaza– 03 July 2021. Palestinian artists participate in a youth initiative, entitled "the sea is ours", by recycling solid waste to create an entertainment cafe on the beach of the Mediterranean sea

01-SOUDBITE: Hana Al Ghoul

STORYLINE

Solid waste management (SWM), including collection, transportation and disposal, is amongst the most critical challenges facing service providers in the Gaza Strip. As with other services, SWM has been undermined as a result of over a decade of the Israeli blockade. Landfills and dumpsites are overloaded; there is lack of separation, sorting and recycling of trash; equipment is out of date and maintenance is irregular; the treatment of hazardous waste is defective; and the collection of fees is limited.

The situation has further deteriorated since the outbreak of COVID-19, due to the worsening of socio-economic conditions and the shrinkage of resources available to service providers, as well as the additional risks posed by the need to manage increased quantities of infectious waste.
