Sewage floods Gaza City
Once more, Gaza's sewage system broke down and is flooding the city. They are lucky that the summer is over and there will be no cholera epidemic. It was the Romans who discovered that a healthy city needs drinking water and sewage disposal infrastructure. That knowledge has yet to reach the Hamas in Gaza, where a million and half persons live in a strip of 70 square kilometers.

Where do they get their drinking water from?
Anon.
Israel supply them drinking water, but the distribution system (built by Israel years ago) is theirs alone and they dont maintain it.
360 square kilometers (according to wikipedia)
