FLOOD leaves GAZA in
RUINS, UN Declares STATE
Of EMERGENCY . . .
An estimated 100,000 homes have been destroyed or damaged as
the streets of Gaza City. They were flooded with water and sewage after a week
of torrential down-pours, prompting the UN Palestinian refugee agency to declare
a state of emergency in the area.
Forced out of their homes, thousands of Palestinians are now
sleeping in classrooms and makeshift shelters after a massive weeklong storm
ravaged the region, reports the Ma’an News Agency. This includes the nearly
30,000 who had been staying at emergency housing after Israel’s 51-day summer
offensive.

"Banjir
ini memburukkan lagi keadaan yang sudah buruk kemanusiaan di Gaza akibat
sekatan dan pemusnahan yg belum pernah terjadi sebelumnya dari serangan Israel
yg terbaru," kata Pertubuhan Bangsa-Bangsa Bantuan & Kerja Raya Agensi
(UNWRA) dalam satu kenyataan yang disiarkan di laman Facebook.
“The flooding is exacerbating the already-dire humanitarian
situation in Gaza caused by blockade and the unprecedented destruction from the
latest Israeli offensive,” the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNWRA)
said in a statement posted on its Facebook page.
As a result of the flooding, 63 schools across Gaza City and
43 schools across the Northern Gaza Strip governorate were closed Thursday,
according to the UNRWA. The Washington Post reported that volunteers are trying
to stop the water with mud and sand-filled garbage bags.

Mengepam air keluar dari kawasan banjir amat bermasalah kerana
kekurangan g teruk bahan api di Semenanjung Gaza, diburukkan lagi oleh 8 tahun
sekatan Israel. Di samping itu, kawasan yg tdk mempunyai kemudahan pengurusan
pembe-tungan yang mencukupi, membuat pemulihan dari krisis lebih mencabar.
Pumping water out of flooded areas is particularly
problematic due to the severe lack of fuel in the Gaza Strip, aggravated by
Israel’s eight-year blockade. In addition, the area lacks adequate sewer
management facilities, making recovery from the crisis even more challenging.

Pada hari
Rabu, Gaza utama Nizar Hijazi memberi amaran bahawa kekurangan penduduk Gaza
itu sumber boleh mencetuskan "bencana kemanusiaan".
"Infrastruktur
di Semenanjung Gaza adalah lemah dan tidak berkelayakan lang-sung untuk
menerima apa-apa hujan meningkat kerana bencana yang disebabkan oleh hujan yg
meningkat tahun lepas & peperangan baru2 ini yg memusnahkan sebahagian
besar daripada Gaza," katanya.
On Wednesday, Gaza major Nizar Hijazi warned residents that
the Strip’s lack of resources could trigger a “humanitarian catastrophe.”
“The infrastructure of the Gaza Strip is weak and
ill-equipped to receive any increased rainfall because of the disaster caused
by the increased rainfall last year and the recent war which destroyed a large
part of the Strip,” he said.
The UNRWA vowed to provide “emergency fuel to supply back-up
generators for pumping stations, portable pumps, municipalities, water,
sanitation and health facilities” to combat shortages on Thursday.

Banjir teruk
bukan luar biasa bagi rantau ini. Disember lalu, hujan lebat membanjiri Strip
dan menyebabkan anjakan kira-kira 40,000 rakyat Palestin.
Walaupun penderma
antarabangsa berjanji $5.4 billion untuk membantu membina semula peperangan di
Gaza pada sidang kemuncak Kaherah awal kejatuhan ini, pembinaan semula masih
belum bermula. Raed Fattouh, seorang pegawai Palestin yang bertanggungjawab ke
atas pemasukan barang ke Semenanjung Gaza, bagai-manapun memberitahu Ma'an
bahawa Israel telah memberikan lampu hijau untuk kemasukan 350 trak bekalan ke
rantau ini sebelum ini.

Severe flooding is not unusual for the region. Last December,
heavy rains swamped the Strip and resulted in the displacement of some 40,000
Palestinians.
Though international donors pledged $5.4 billion to help
rebuild war-torn Gaza at Cairo summit earlier this fall, reconstruction has not
yet begun. Raed Fattouh, a Palestinian official responsible for the entry of
goods into the Gaza Strip, however, told Ma’an that Israel has given the
go-ahead for the entry of 350 supply trucks into the region earlier this
