Haifa: Heavy Fire at Waste Transfer Station. Massive Airpollution

A very heavy fire broke out in the surrounding of Haifa in Isfiya, a Bedouin village harbouring a huge waste transfer station.

Basically, it must be said that the waste management system in Israel is anarchic, there are hardly any controls and the country is littered with illegal garbage dumps. Those illegal garbage dumps defy any idea and coercions for sustainability in Israel.

The Ministry of Environmental Protection and the Ministry of Health recommend that sensitive populations avoid staying outside unnecessarily in the Bedouin neighbourhood of Isfiya.

Based on own observations, we can even detect a bad smell by the sea in West Haifa, and children are feeling unwell and have eye irritations. We have to ask ourselves what is being stored here at this landfill.

The Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Environmental Protection recommend that sensitive populations such as the elderly, children and pregnant women, heart patients and chronic lung patients avoid spending time outside unnecessarily in the area of ​​the Bedouin neighbourhood Isfiya. It is recommended to reduce physical activity outside. It is recommended to close windows and turn on air conditioners.

The Ministry of Environmental Protection instructed the landowners to act immediately to cover the burning piles according to firefighting and rescue instructions.

At the same time, monitoring teams of the Ministry of Environmental Protection continue to monitor the air in the nearby residential neighbourhoods.

Still high values ​​recorded in the monitoring, the Ministry of Environmental Protection informed the local authority about the recommendation to stay in a closed space in the Bedouin neighbourhood in Isfiya.
