🔴 A report shared with Drop Site by Eyad Amawi, an NGO Coordinator in Gaza, warns the enclave is facing what he describes as an unfolding “environmental and biological apocalypse,” driven by systemic infrastructure collapse and blockade conditions.
🔹97% of groundwater is undrinkable, while water access has fallen to just 3–5 liters per person per day—dropping to 1–3 liters in the north—far below emergency standards, fueling nearly half a million cases of acute diarrhea, many among children.
🔹All sewage systems are offline, with 130,000 cubic meters of untreated waste discharged daily into the sea. Around 500,000 tons of garbage now blanket displacement sites, 80% of which are infested with rats carrying dozens of diseases. 71% of desalination plants and 80% of water infrastructure have been destroyed.
🔹Amawi argues the crisis is a deliberate and “calculated ecological disaster” that could kill more through disease and starvation than bombs, warning that aquifer damage and seawater intrusion risk long-term collapse and urging immediate international intervention.
.@JamesTalarico: We are living in an era of corruption. I don’t just mean illegal activity. I mean corruption in the deeper sense — the rotting of something from the inside. Politicians serving billionaire megadonors instead of their constituents. The top 1% owning more wealth than the entire middle class. For-profit social media algorithms sowing division and turning neighbor against neighbor.
Our systems are rotting from the inside out. The most powerful people in this country are profiting off our pain, our division, and our disconnection from one another.
This is, at its root, a spiritual crisis. And it will require a spiritual solution.
