BRUKIN, (PIC)--

The Palestinian residents of the Brukin town to the west of Salfit have appealed to legal and environmental institutions to intervene to stop the flow of sewage from the Israeli Ari'il settlement to their town.

The residents complained that sewage coming from Ari'il constitutes health hazards and gives off an unbearable smell, warning that the situation portends health disasters after mosquitoes and flies started to spread in the town.

The residents called for digging a sewer line consisting of large pipes for the Israeli settlement.

In the same context, the Palestinian residents of the Kafr Al-Deek town also suffer the same problem where the Israeli sewage is flowing near to the town causing multiple health hazards.
