Yesterday, while I was walking on the streets of #Gaza with my friends, I saw this truck transporting a lot of plastic.
It is transported to places where people dump all of it in burners. Some people make fuel from it, for transport and for heating. Then they sell it to subsist.
The plastic smoke is very dark and very dangerous. Sometimes there's no way but to breathe it.
I regularly use plastic for cooking.
