No surprise here.At least four Palestinians drowned in a tsunami of raw sewage on Tuesday when a water treatment reservoir burst, flooding a village in the northern Gaza Strip.
The deluge, triggered by the collapse of a septic system aid organisations had long warned was dangerously overburdened, submerged dozens of homes in the Bedouin farming village of Umm al-Nasr beneath a cesspool of foul-smelling effluent.
Two women, one more than 70 years old, and two toddlers aged one and two died in the flood. Fifteen people were injured and scores more are still missing, according to Palestinian medics.
Village children clung to wooden doors floating on the putrid waters as rescuers used boats to help the victims.

All that's missing is the blame being placed on Israel.
If the Arab world cared for the Palestinians half as much as they hated the Jews they would fund the infrastructure in Gaza. A decent quality of life would help bring peace to the region. Instead, the money gets squandered on weapons and private militias.
This is the reason The US will not deal with Hamas.
Token efforts at health clinics and trash collecting don't make a city run.
But that's okay, the convenient scape goat known as Israel is there to blame.
