5:55AM: Palestinians are blaming Israel – for allowing certain things into Gaza.
The Gaza-based organization Al-Damir has issued a report warning of the deadly side effects of harmful pesticides on Gaza farms. The number of cases of cancer reported in children living on farms, and of intestinal cancer in young adults, has risen dramatically over the past two years as Gaza farmers use pesticides with no oversight, the group said.
The group placed blame for the health crisis on Israel. Israel allows Gaza farmers to import dangerous pesticides, Al-Damir charged.
The accusation was unusual, as Gaza farmers have previously accused Israel of failing to allow pesticides into Gaza due to fears that the materials will be used to create weapons.
