The Gaza Liaison Administration transferred two float water pumps through the Karni cargo crossing into the Gaza Strip on Wednesday morning to assist the Palestinians in pumping waste water that flooded a village near Beit Lahiya in northern Gaza.
The pumps were supplied by Mekorot, the national water company.
The administration, under the command of Col. Nir Press, was also conducting talks with the World Bank, which built the waste water pool that overflowed on Tuesday, as well as with the Israeli water commission, to come up with immediate long-term solutions to prevent an ecological disaster in the Gaza Strip.
On Tuesday, Press met with officials from the World Bank to decide which raw materials needed to be immediately transferred through Karni into Gaza.
The administration was also facilitating the transfer of a 23-year-old resident of Beit Lahiya who was injured during the flooding to Tel Hashomer Hospital near Tel Aviv.
At least six people were killed in the disaster, and dozens more were injured.
And the $$$ Arafat had from all of us???

Looks normal for Gaza.
Ugh, the only thing worse than a regular flood would be a sewage flood. I guess allah was telling them what he thought of them. They could have had a solid gold lined embankment with just a small percentage of all the loot Arafat stole but somehow they'll blame this on Israel.
Can't Allah save them?
I'm looking forward to the photoshopped shots of looter guy, the bomb catching lady and the rescue planes dropping multiple flares.
Where are all the fresh lean childrens toys? Oh yeah, they aren't blaming the jews and Green Helmet Guy isn't there. Yet.
C'mon! Where's Heineken looter guy?
Arafat was an Egyptian, anyway.
It's at times like this that I have to ask myself if I am one of the few sane Jews left on Earth or am I an sociopath monster.
These people hate Jews/Israel. Their entire existence is devoted to the destruction and murder of Jews/Israel.
I only see and enemy as damaged. I have no sympathy.
And I am very angry at the compassion and help offered by my fellow Jews and Israel- whom they are determined to destroy. Why aren't the injured in Egyptian hospitals? Or Allah forbid, soiling the sheets at a hospital in Saudi Arabia?

I guess those headscarves over their faces are good for something. That's a lot of shiite.
Well, given a choice......
