UN humanitarians on Thursday urged Israeli authorities to allow Gaza sanitation workers to remove waste from displacement sites and residential areas to Gaza designated landfills to mitigate potentially life-threatening risks of fire.
On Friday UN teams mobilized water tankers and machinery to support crews responding to a fire at Firas market, in the center of Gaza City, right next to people’s shelters, which has been used as a major solid waste dump, as designated landfills has become inaccessible during hostilities, the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) said in a press release.
