How Gaza's electricity crisis is becoming Israel's water catastrophe

[Little Tich]

3. I sincerely doubt that there are any olympic sized swimming pools left in Gaza.

Besides, you would need stuff like chlorine, clean water and electricity to have it working - things that are in short supply in Gaza.

Don't believe everything you read from Tablet Mag, though - there was an article in Jerusalem Post (http://www.jpost.com/Arab-Israeli-Conflict/The-hunt-for-an-Olympic-sized-pool-in-the-West-Bank-463772) about the size of the biggest pools in the West Bank, and they only found half-Olympic-sized pools. I don't really know if a swimmer is hampered by having to train in a smaller pool, or if it's even one of the bigger obstacles for a Palestinian Olympic swimmer, so I have nothing to add to that particular discussion.

The real issue is that there's an environmental disaster in the making here, and Israel isn't doing anything to fix it.
