Hey there! 🌍 Did you hear what's happening in Gaza? The United Nations just reported that over 299,370 tonnes of solid waste are piling up in and around the crowded areas of the Gaza Strip! 😱 That's like stacking up over 80 Eiffel Towers made of trash! 🗼🗑️
The UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) shared this concerning news on X (formerly Twitter). They emphasized that opening up humanitarian access and achieving a ceasefire are crucial to bringing back humane living conditions. ✌️❤️
But it's not just about the physical health risks. UNRWA teams are also working hard to support the mental well-being of kids in shelter centers. They're providing psychological help through fun activities like stress relief games, relaxation sessions, and more. 🎲😊🧘♂️
Let's hope for a swift resolution to this crisis, so the people of Gaza can live in a clean and safe environment. 🌟
