After one year of war in the Gaza Strip, international humanitarian organizations have been unanimous in their assessment of a grave situation, with some identifying genocide. An extraordinary demolition, the displacement of millions of people, and immense infrastructural destruction have all occurred. The war has affected livelihoods and public health, sanitation services, and all levels of education. The basic needs for life in Gaza – accommodation, water, food, healthy environment – are no longer accessible for the entire population. What follows in this document is a preliminary assessment of the environmental impact of Israel’s war on Gaza that has been produced by a team of researchers working through a collaboration between the Palestinian environmental NGOs Network and Newcastle University in the UK.
