The body stated that the world must take urgent measures to avoid a greater humanitarian catastrophe, work to stop the war and provide the necessary aid to mitigate the crisis.

The text warned that the coming rainy season will hardened the situation, amid unprecedented destruction of infrastructure and public services, the accumulation of large amounts of waste in the center of the city and the discharge of sewage into the streets.

The conflagration, the lack of supplies of machinery and fuel, and the interruption of the rehabilitation projects of the destroyed facilities represent a serious threat to the lives of the citizens and will exacerbate the disaster, he said.

In this regard, he pointed out that the rainwater collection ponds are full of sewage because the pumping stations are out of service following the Israeli invasion.

In another communique, the Municipality condemned the neighboring country’s war campaign.
