UNICEF says Israel blocks Gaza basin repairs, warns of flood risk
By Emma FargeGENEVA, Nov 10 (Reuters) - The UN children's agency said Israel had rejected the importation of equipment needed to repair a water basin in Gaza, and warned that the facility could overflow and endanger nearby residents through flooding and disease.Local authorities say Israel destroyed water infrastructure and vehicles used to pump water during itswar against Hamas, which had displaced most of the territory's more than 2 million residents and left much of Gaza in ruins. Most of the population now lives in tent camps.
