Water companies in England failed to report more than 50,000 sewage dumpings within the time required. Water companies routinely ignore laws, have 1,200+ criminal convictions, no exec prosecuted, no licence cancelled. Customers fleeced, human health damaged, environment harmed. Govts do nothing.

As rains approach, winterisation in Gaza is far behind: 94% need shelter & non-food items. Rains could flood overcrowded sites with waste & sewage, where families are trying to make a home.
