   After nearly two years of chaos and bombardment, the environmental cost of the war is overwhelming.

   Bloomberg’s analysis of informal waste sites in Gaza shows how the collapse of services, damage to infrastructure and the displacement of people have led to an environmental disaster — one which is compounding the humanitarian crisis in the territory.

   The ever-growing piles of trash are just one part of a wider catastrophe.
