I Lost My Job

I was the sanitation engineer for the Palestinian Authority.  I don’t know what they are complaining about.  Looks like an improvement to me.  I will blame it on the Jews.

An earth embankment around a sewage reservoir collapsed Tuesday, spewing a river of waste and mud that killed five people and forced residents to flee from a village in the northern Gaza Strip, officials said.

A local Palestinian official blamed the disaster in Umm Naser on shoddy infrastructure, and U.N. officials said they had been warning of a catastrophe for more than two years. The stench of sewage mixed with mud and dead animals filled the air, causing people to cover their mouths.

A 2004 U.N. report warned that the sewage facility was at maximum capacity and flooding was inevitable unless a new waste treatment plant was constructed. It said the effluent lake was a breeding ground for mosquitoes and waterborne diseases, posing a serious health hazard.
