Gaza's resort to makeshift toilets amid sanitation crisis in Strip’s vast tent camps, officials blame Hamas for holding up reconstruction
[IsraelTimes] Gaza's resort to makeshift toilets amid sanitation crisis in Strip’s vast tent camps.
​
Without a single normal toilet in the camps, residents are forced to use communal latrines or dig their own; efforts by aid groups to supply solutions are limited, while officials blame Hamas for holding up reconstruction.
All the human interest stuff that neglects to point out that this can stop as soon as Hamas surrenders its arms and walks away from running things. Or even that Gazan individuals and families can hie themselves to the IDF and surrender for themselves, thereafter being allowed to leave for the outside world. Not easy, perhaps, but possible. So living like this is a choice.

1 When Israel took over Gaza in 1967, it's population was 600000.

2 Hamas claims 2.1 million as I recall. But they’ve been overcounting since they took over, and the PA was overcounting before that since Israel gave up administering the territories directly.

3 Civilian housing has been completely destroyed. Gaza is uninhabitable. The entire population will have to be relocated to somewhere that takes Muslim immigrants. Like Egypt, Malaysia or USA.

4 #2 That is, 1.5 million are excess.

5 I recall only 50% of Gaza has indoor plumbing, and that their left hands are considered unclean because even fewer use toilet paper.

6 Toilets? They all have diapers on their heads. Make use of them. To please piggy Allay of course.

7  forced to use communal latrines or dig their own

Just like people have done for the last umpteen thousand years.

It is impressive how the Gazooks have managed to create a late Paleolith society in the midst of this modern world of plenty. It is a testimony to the strength and resilience of the Paleostinian people that they are willing to suffer so much for their hatred.

Now, who's up for a nice round of cholera? Dysentry?
