Well-managed wastewater infrastructure in northern Gaza is at the core of a healthy life and to ensuring high quality environment services for present and future generations. The project will also protect lives, infrastructure, and economic activities from the risk of flooding from uncontrolled wastewater reservoirs in northern Gaza.
