Daily SabahOct 7, 2026

The ongoing conflict in Gaza has led to severe environmental degradation over the past three years. This crisis has resulted in significant challenges for the local population, affecting their health and livelihoods. Experts warn that without immediate intervention, the environmental situation could worsen, further impacting the already strained resources in the region.

The destruction of infrastructure has made it difficult to implement effective environmental policies and recovery efforts.
