The New York Times has gone into the toilet (literally) on Gaza. See Sanitation Crisis in Gaza Spreads Disease (link).
You would never know that this started with a massacre of civilians and rape spree. Now tell me, what does a Hamas fighter satisfying his sexual appetites have to do with Israel provocations. The humanitarian crises of Hamas' own making are blamed on Israel. What did Hamas expect Israel would do? Or worse, Hamas just doesn't care about their civilians. That is perhaps the more reasonable explanation.New York Times said:For two months after Salwa al-Masri, 75, and her family fled to the city of Rafah, at the southernmost tip of Gaza, to escape Israel’s military offensive, she said she would walk 200 yards to reach the nearest bathroom. If she was lucky, younger women in line would let her jump ahead.
Other times, she might wait up to an hour to use a dirty toilet shared with thousands of other people.
“It’s horrible,” Ms. al-Masri said via WhatsApp recently from her family’s ramshackle tent, which they made out of wood and plastic sheeting. “I wouldn’t drink water. I would stay thirsty so I wouldn’t have to go to the bathroom. I stopped drinking coffee and tea.”
