Reservists from the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) stationed in the southern Gaza Strip have reported extremely poor sanitary conditions at their military post, as highlighted in a recent KAN News report. Soldiers from the 7810th Battalion of the 11th 'Yiftach' Brigade described significant drainage issues that have led to major sanitary hazards, resulting in an increase of pests such as mosquitoes, flies, and mice. The soldiers noted that their living quarters, including sleeping tents and dining areas, are in a state of disrepair, emitting unpleasant odors. Additionally, the presence of hundreds of feral cats and dogs has posed health risks, with soldiers suffering bites that necessitated evacuation and treatment for tetanus and rabies. Despite these challenging conditions, the reservists expressed their commitment to their mission, requesting only basic dignified living conditions. In response to these concerns, the IDF has acknowledged the issues and stated that corrective measures are being implemented to improve the situation for the troops.
