children to wade through the swamp raw sewage in the streets of central Gaza
now we usually don't cover foreign affairs stories on the show but I wanted
to cover this one
because the absolutely sickening sewage treatment has long been a problem in the
Gaza Strip
thanks to legal by I'll illegal blockade both enforced by
our own ball to be honest import our nation imports by egypt also informed by
Israel
but the recent crackdown by the Egyptian military on the cross-border smuggling
tunnel
one of the few lifeline that keeps the besieged stripped
from descending into complete and total utter chaos and catastrophe
of has led to a fuel shortage leaving residents with little to no electricity
and bringing a halt to operation then got the largest water treatment plant
this is some crazy stuff folks its utterly insane
that no children or any human being for that matter have to wade through pools
up literally literally human feces in human ***
because they don't because we don't have the technology that we need a we don't
have the energy that they need
the gas that would run the fuel plant or to run the sanitation plan to actually
get the work done
this is a humanitarian crisis although it's not just
are it's not just the United States problem with not just in Egyptian
politics
not just an israeli parliament in the world problem in what in the fact that
we're in such a globalized society
part the more globalized society there's children wading
in defecation in human defecation
not because they don't have they die because they can pay for it
but because of political issues it's all politics here folks this
blockade is all politics one group
not liking another given because one group doesn't like another group kids
have to wade
in put water that crazy
it's crazy it's shocking and there's no excuse for this
the man-made humanitarian crisis the humanitarian crisis because there was a
big storm
is not humanitarian crisis because we had a tsunami is not a humanitarian
crisis because the climate change this is a humanitarian crisis has been
created because of the political
because the political infrastructure and man doing horrible things to other men
we need to change this we need
to save these young people there way
on
