This is not an unexpected outcome of a Government such as Gazans support. Yes, I have to agree with our friend "Hollie."

Gaza Valley Faces Environmental Disaster
People driving through the municipalities of the Gaza Strip can easily tell when they have reached the Wadi Gaza Bridge. They are overcome with a bad smell that forces them to hold their nose to avoid inhaling the odor of waste and sewage coming from the valley, which has turned into an environmental disaster.

It should be noted that modern conveniences like indoor plumbing and waste management are low priorities when your standards for living are modeled on a 7th century Arab warlord as the perfect example for humanity.
(COMMENT)
Many of the Regional Failed States
(like the Ramallah and Gaza Governments) have such infrastructure weaknesses due to issues inherent in the overall system of government.
The "chilling effect" that the pro-Arab Palestinian supporters have described in the past
[especially by organizations such as Euro-Mediterranean Monitor for Human Rights (EMMHR)] is (indeed) refers to the consequences of the adverse effects against the Israeli response to Arab Palestine (AP) hostile actions has on the ongoing and re-organization and reconstruction programs and projects funded by international donor contributions. As the pro-Arab Palestinian non-governmental organizations (NGOs) across the Middle East - North African (MENA region) like to expound → the positive progress of any institutional nation building, infrastructure development, mechanisms to boost the economy, health and education, social welfare, and electricity utilities/distribution
(re-organization and reconstruction) programs and projects in the occupied Palestinian territories (oPt) have been systematically reduced to rubble by the extension of Israel military power made possible by American imperialism and regional exploitation.
And it all sounds good. It presents itself to be both sound and valid.
And every time I hear these repetitious arguments about the evil of American and Israel in regards to the continuation of the Israel-Palestinian Conflict, I shiver to the bone. The counter-argument to the pro-AP presentation is not so elegant. It is a variation on a theme.
"The Iterated Prisoner's Dilemma" (IPD) which is so fundamental to international cooperation and mutual trust between nations and across cultures. At the schoolyard level, you might have heard of it in the less dramatic name → "tit for tat." The variation on the theme is: You smack me, I'll smack you back, only twice as hard. This political-military (POL-MIL) variant incorporates the practical logic that the opponent will learn that there is no benefit to a continued exchange of blows.
The counterpart to IPD is "Proportional Response" or excessive retaliation to the concrete and an advantage anticipated. This is the point at which the exchange of slaps/smacks should stop. However, in the MENA societies, known for extremist behaviors and asymmetric conflict with antisocial attitudes and a lack of political conscience, this is the "go-for-broke" position.
IF the extremist and asymmetric operators continue on against a nation or nations with a firm respect for "Proportional Response" theory →
THEN the extremist and asymmetric operator
(having no respect for "Proportional Response" or Excessive Retaliation limits) will win any serious confrontation.
(APPLICATION)
the International Donor Community hold sympathy for the Arab Palestinian because the have a respect for the concept of "Proportional Response." The Arab Palestinian has no regard for human suffering and unlimited destruction, so they will continue to exchange hostility and violent action --- eating up donor contributions until the Israelis capitulate.
THUS the dilemma.
Most Respectfully,
R
