Red Cross Warns Of Water Crisis In Gaza: Hundreds Of Thousands Cut Off For Days
2014-07-15
[Ynet] The Red Thingy announced that there is a water crisis in the Gazoo Strip. Officials said in a statement issued by the humanitarian movement that hundreds of thousands of people in the Gazoo Strip have been without water for several days due to repeated bombings of water infrastructure.
Interesting subjectless passive voice there. Like their electricity problem, did the Gazan rocketeers again miss Israel and damage themselves?
Not that it would bother me much if the Israelis did whack the pumping station...
The head of the International Red Thingy delegation to Israel and the Territories Jacques de Mayo said that within days the entire population may face a desperate shortage of water.
Just as well, since Israel's electric company could not restrain themselves, and yesterday started repairing the connection destroyed by a Gazan rocket.
Let the Gazooks draw their water from the Med...

#16  they are learning there are consequences for their actions.

I wouldn't bet a large sum on that, 49 Pan. It's not something they've managed to learn despite repeated cause/effect cycles in the past decade alone.

#15  The people of Gaza support killing Jews, they are learning there are consequences for their actions. Stop supporting the killing of Jews or die. Pretty easy.

Then a sewage pond failed and their was a flood of sewage through parts of Gaza.


Flood of sewage or parade? How could you tell?

Wait, I know -- the sewage smelled better and had more humanity.

#13  Gaza drilled water wells and overpumped the aquifer, so it is brackish now. Israel supplied water to them. Then in the wastewater department they built sewage containment ponds. Some bright individuals started mining the pond dikes for sand. Then a sewage pond failed and their was a flood of sewage through parts of Gaza.

As a practicing Pisces, these folks are seriously water challenged and should not be allowed to play with water.

#12  When they had had plenty of water, they thirsted for Jewish blood: and I mean it literally---look up the relevant texts in MEMRI

And yet when Magen David Adom offered them blood for their hospitals the other day, Hamas rejected the offer. Let them be martyrs then, sez I.

Sucks to be you assholes.

#4  The Germans bombed (then rocketed) England. The favor was returned with interest. In the end, the Germans ended up with no water, electricity, basic resources, et al. Sympathy for the real aggressor - 0.

#3  days the entire population may face a desperate shortage of water.

Enough of a crisis to make them decide to fix the problem?
