200 Missing in Gaza Cesspool Disaster

200 Missing in Gaza Cesspool Disaster (update)

(IsraelNN.com) Two hundred residents are still missing and six have died after the wall of a cesspool collapsed Tuesday morning in the Bedouin village of Umm Naser in northern Gaza. Some 3,000 people live in the village.

Palestinian Authority Environment Minister Dr. Yousef Safia blamed Israel for the disaster which village council head Ziad Abu Farieh called “our own tsunami.”

Defense Minister Amir Peretz immediately ordered the IDF to provide humanitarian aide to Arabs affected by the raw sewage and to transfer injured people to Israeli hospitals.



Of course this is the fault of Israel, since we have not been in Gaza for two years of course it is our fault.
