COORDINATION CENTER ENABLES REPAIR TO MAIN GAZA STRIP SEWAGE SYSTEM
Tel Aviv , 17 Jan. The Joint Humanitarian Coordination Center (JHCC) facilitated the repair of Gaza's main sewage treatment facility in Beit Lahiya on Wednesday (15 January) thereby averting a potential major ecological threat.
For six days the COGAT had attempted to coordinate the movement of a convoy of Palestinian technicians to refuel the generator and had halted all IDF operational activity in the region. However for lack of organization on the Palestinian side the repairs could not be carried out, despite assurances given by the IDF. On Wednesday the Palestinians were able to organize their own convoy and COGAT Humanitarian Affairs officers in the field coordinated the passage of the convoy with the Palestinians and with Divisional HQs. During the duration of the repair operation the IDF forces took up defensive positions. The repairs, which consisted of refueling the generator and repairing a valve were successfully completed.

In addition tomorrow (18 January) will coordinate with UNRWA the access of a convoy of Palestinian electrical technicians to repair a technical malfunction at the Nahal Oz fuel depot. This would enable the Palestinians to resume pumping fuel needed by the power plant to generate electricity. Brigadier General, Baruch Spiegel, Head of the JHCC, "UNRWA is carrying out a most valuable mission in the field with excellent coordination of their representative on the JHCC staff. Their operations under the current situation are truly appreciated".
