00:00A garbage crisis in the Gaza Strip. The lack of sanitary services such as garbage collection is now putting lives
00:07at risk.
00:09Much of Gaza City and much of the territory remains in ruins with no clear timeline for reconstruction.
00:14More than 2 million people in the Gaza Strip are now struggling to protect their health as they live near
00:20piles of trash mixed with the dirt and debris across the enclave.
00:25There is a health crisis in Gaza. Our children are sick. We got sick. We wake up among the germs
00:31and we are suffering.
00:33We call on all nations sustained by Gaza to help with this crisis. Summer is also approaching. It's March now.
00:40It will get warmer in a month.
00:42There will be heat and germs and smell will come out along with rats and bugs. Everyone is affected.
00:48Instead of breathing in clean air, they breathe in garbage. Local municipalities and the United Nations Development Programme have been
00:57leading efforts to clear waste and debris, but the resources are limited.
01:01The cost of living has also skyrocketed amid a shortage of goods in a region that has been battled by
01:07months of conflict.
01:08We are here in a place with a gigantic cost on human lives, which is human-provoked. What we need
01:17now is access. And this is really our only ask. We are capable of doing this. We have the people
01:24to do this. We have the financial resources to do this. We have the technical capabilities of doing this. What
01:30we need is access.
01:33As the war now turns gears and focus on Iran, Gaza is still reeling from the effects of the war.
01:40There is a dilapidated state of health as garbage keeps piling up without any help expected.
