In Gaza, Hamas’s effective dictatorship over the strip means it is the authority responsible for infrastructure. Gaza’s problems are due to underinvestment in environmental systems, lack of progress on priority environmental projects and the collapse of governance mechanisms. Palestinians received $5.4 billion in pledges meant to raise funds to rebuild the Gaza Strip after its latest conflict with Israel. Where could that money have gone, if not to provide water? They suffer from the same plagues we have in the US, ineffective and corrupt politicians.
