Weather of Arabia - Political instability is expected to have a clear environmental impact in the Gaza Strip, where 25,000 tons of munitions dropped on the city during the first weeks of the conflict are equivalent to the annual greenhouse gas emissions produced by about 5,000 passenger cars.

Nada Majdalani, EcoPeace's Middle East director based in Ramallah, warns that decomposing bodies and contaminated water supplies could become a "time bomb" threatening the spread of deadly diseases, including cholera.

Last October, the complete shutdown of Gaza's wastewater treatment plants resulted in more than 130,000 cubic meters of untreated sewage flowing into the Mediterranean Sea daily, according to data released by the Norwegian Refugee Council.
