GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip — The waste landfill is located less than 1.5 kilometers (0.9 miles) away from the house of taxi driver Mohammed Abu Issa, who lives in the agricultural village of Hajar al-Deek in the east of Bureij in the central Gaza Strip.
Abu Issa, 40, often sees young boys and farmers heading to the solid and organic wastewater basin next to the landfill to collect some of this wastewater to use in spraying crops.
