Turkish officials have warned of an unprecedented environmental disaster in Gaza resulting from the war, with 97 percent of groundwater contaminated and vast agricultural lands and vegetation destroyed, Shehab Wire reported.
The contamination of Gaza's water supply poses immediate risks to the remaining population's access to clean drinking water and sanitation. The destruction of agricultural infrastructure compounds the humanitarian crisis, as farmland degradation threatens long-term food security and livelihoods in the territory.
