Beginning the Construction of a Sanitation Network on Al-Sultan Street in Al-Bureij Camp, Central Gaza Strip

Gaza – CMWU

CMWU, in partnership with UNICEF and in cooperation with Al-Bureij Municipality, began constructing a sanitation network on Al-Sultan Street south of Al-Bureij camp, central Gaza Strip, aiming to rehabilitate the network in that area.

The project will also eliminate the Block 8 sewage pumping station and convert the network to a gravity system, improving the sanitation services provided to the area's residents, by connecting new houses to the network and eliminating cesspits that negatively affect residents.

This comes as part of the project to rehabilitate sanitation networks funded by the UN Central Emergency Response Fund through UNICEF.

The project includes constructing a sanitation network and household connections in Gaza city, Al-Bureij, and Nuseirat, central Gaza Strip, aiming to improve the sanitation service provided to the residents of those areas, and to prevent health hazards that negatively affect the environment and residents' health.

The project serves about 20,000 people at a total cost of about $460,000.
