The ongoing ethnic cleansing of Gaza has destroyed roughly 90% of water and sanitation infrastructure in Gaza, leaving treatment plants offline and sending thousands of cubic meters of raw sewage daily into the sea.
According to environmental experts, high sea temperatures combined with untreated sewage flows fueled the rapid growth of the algae. massive microalgae bloom in the Mediterranean Sea has temporarily disabled five of Israel's six major coastal disalination plants.
The resulting 100-kilometer algae slick quickly overwhelmed the advanced intake and filtration systems of Israel's coastal desalination plants, exposing a critical vulnerability in a system that provides the vast majority of the country's domestic water.
Sorek A, Sorek B, Palmachim, Ashkelon, and Ashdod were all temporarily shut down. So israel has faced more punishment from algae than it has the US and Europe combined.
