GAZA UNDER SIEGE: ENVIRONMENTAL DISASTER DURING ISRAEL-PALESTINE CONFLICT, SUGGESTIONS AND SOLUTIONS

Abstract

The war in Gaza imposed by Zionist Israel has caused a substantialhuman loss. At the same time, this war had a disastrous environmental effect.Massiveenvironmental destruction is reported. Vast fields, orchards, and green areas have been destroyed due to the Israeli invasion. The water management system has been devastated,forcing residents of Gazato use contaminated water. Emissions from military hardware have added to environmental vows. Though human loss and suffering cannot be compensated, and after sympathising with Gaza civilians as a sacred duty,the next important obligation is to stop environmental destruction in the strip and to think about how to restore it. United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP)and other organisationsare working, but there is room for further improvement. This paper aims to find shortand long-term solutions to the restoration of Gaza’s environmental infrastructure, including water management, fields, orchards, and eco-friendlyreconstruction of buildings. In addition, the article explores Pakistan’s role in this conflictas well as Israel’s Eco crimesand probeswhetherIsrael is guilty of Ecocide (Environmental genocide).
