Khan Yunis municipality warns of cracking walls of rainwater collection basin

KHAN YUNIS   (Palestine Foundation Information Center) The municipality of Khan Yunis warned all citizens and the displaced in the Al-Amal District Park, which is a rainwater collection basin, as well as the residents in the nearby places in the region of the presence of serious cracks in the basin’s walls.

The municipality explained in a statement on Wednesday that these cracks portend a serious catastrophe due to the imminent collapse of the basin’s wall due to the fact that some citizens carried out irresponsible actions, as the interlock tiles adjacent to the wall were stolen and dismantled.

It called on all citizens and displaced people to immediately stop dismantling and stealing interlock tiles.

The municipality also stressed the need to “prevent the dangerous catastrophe that might occur in light of the Israeli unprecedented aggression that targets all forms of life in the Gaza Strip.”

Hundreds of thousands of displaced people live in displacement tents in the Al-Mawasi area in Khan Yunis under very harsh living conditions.
