The organization denounced in a statement the health disaster threatening the lives of more than two million people.

The Network underscored that hundreds of thousands of tons of garbage accumulate in the streets and entrances to the shelters, while toxic waste seeps into agricultural land and groundwater.

It emphasized that the accumulation of waste has created an environmental crisis that presages the spread of epidemics and represents a direct threat to health, especially for the sick, children, women, and the elderly.

It warned of the collapse of the collection and transportation systems due to the Israeli attacks and blockade, which prevent the entry of equipment and fuel.

The Palestinian NGOs Network stated that this situation has caused the spread of insects, toxic odors, and an increase in the skin and respiratory disease rates.

Research by experts from the United Kingdom, the United States, Ghana, Ukraine, and Austria who examined the environmental effects of the war in Gaza revealed in late May that greenhouse gas emissions resulting from the aggression will exceed the annual emissions of 102 countries.
