Looks like they need Jewish help-their Arab 'friends' aren't doing much for them.

Yesterday's report on this said that the money for fixing it had long been there, they were just waiting for the violence to die down.
Somehow, AP let that little detail slip out of their story...

The victims sound like those least able to help themselves in a crisis.Did all the able-bodied men run away or try to save their guns and bomb vests and ignore the screams of the helpless?

They just didn't have the money to fix it...what with all the weapons they need to buy so they can destroy the infidel Israelis...and the great satan wouldn't give them any money either...so look what happened to the poor poor Palestinians.../sarc

Ziad Abu Farya, head of the village council, described the scene as "our tsunami."No, 200,000 dead and your entire community wiped off the face of the earth would be "your tsunami". This is more like what happens when one of your suicide bombers gets loose.

The Gaza City mayor blamed the collapse on local people digging dirt from the structure and selling it to building contractorsIf the mayor knew this was happening, why didn't he stop the digging and fix the holes? Or was this Katrina II where it was only a matter of time before the obvious happened?

Sewage 'tsunami'?
Sounds like a real sh*tstorm.
To: familyop
UN officials said they had been warning of a catastrophe since a 2004 UN report warned that the sewage facility was at maximum capacity and flooding was inevitable unless a new waste treatment plant was constructed. Well, there is the problem. If anyone knows about raw sewage it is the UN. Better listen.

The reason the US "target" our aid, over $400 million last year to the palestinians, is to prevent them from stealing it, prevent them from using it for terror, I'm sure they do none of that, and to be certain it benefits the populace.
Twenty projects in 2003 and 2004 alone. I guess we're just not giving them enough money.

More Mission Headlines September 15, 2004 Rafah Sewage Treatment Plant Back in Business
RAFAH, Gaza -- United States Agency for International Development (USAID) this week completed the renovation of the aging Rafah Wastewater Treatment Plant, eliminating the danger of sewage flooding in this densely populated area. USAID provided the sewage treatment facility with a permanent power supply, two new pumps and assorted electrical equipment, which will allow it to function continuously and efficiently. More than 50,000 people, whose health and welfare had been seriously endangered by the regular flooding of raw sewage, benefited from the project. Since October 2003, USAID has funded 20 emergency and quick impact water projects designed to respond to water and sewage emergencies in the Gaza Strip. The projects cost a total of $2.3 million and benefited five Gaza municipalities with 385,000 people. The projects included the laying of 15,000 meters of sewer pipes and 21,700 meters of water lines in Gaza, the installation of six pumps in wells and treatment plants, the provision of excavators, generators, transformers and tools to five municipalities. |

A huge sewage reservoir in the northern Gaza Strip collapsed Tuesday, killing five people in a frothing cascade of waste and mud that... resulted in several million dollars worth of civic improvements.
