QRCS constructs district sewage system in southern Gaza [EN/AR]

March 8th, 2021 ― Doha: Adel Al-Zaanoun, a resident of Gaza, stood in front of his home to watch the workers laying sewage pipelines in his district, waiting for the turn of his home to be connected to the new network, which will put an end to many years of suffering.
“It has been a tragedy over the past decade,” said Mr. Al-Zaanoun. “In my neighborhood, there was no infrastructure at all. The soak pits are hazardous to the population, with its pollution and constantly bad smell”.
Supported by Qatar Red Crescent Society (QRCS) for the benefit of 70,000 people living in southern Gaza City, this activity is part of a project to construct a sewage system in Gaza. It involves laying 7-km wastewater collection and drainage pipelines ranging 6-16 inches in diameter.
