Israeli's media has for weeks been publishing pics of red, blood-filled
water gushing into Alexander River - loved for its wildlife and beauty.
Blood,
feathers and other animal body parts are pouring out of slaughterhouses
"from one or more Palestinian slaughterhouses in the northern West Bank
city of Tulkarem", reports the Times of Israel.
The Society for
the Protection of Nature warned last month that "Israel's lax laws have
enabled the Alexander River - one of Israel's most ecologically
important - to turn into blood.
"Polluted runoff from slaughterhouses and other industries have polluted this river and turned it red in the middle of Passover.
"And it's not the first time!"
With
the blood pollution coinciding with the coronavirus crisis, the
campaign group urged leaders to "realise how vital nature is to our
mental wellbeing and act to make sure ecological plagues like this don't
happen again."
It's called upon the Environmental Protection Minister Ze’ev Elkin to deal with the issue.
The Alexander River runs the width of Israel, from the hills of the Nablus on the West Bank to the sea.

Israel says that "until ten years ago, the river was heavily polluted"
before a major joint effort by the regional council and their
Palestinian counterparts to transform it.
But, according to the Daily Star a local photographer, Amberto, said it now “looks like the plague of blood in Egypt.”
Although
the blood and animal waste would normally be cleaned by a purification
plant, heavy rainfall has swamped the system, and it wasn't cleared
before washing into Nahal Alexander.
The deluges coincide with
last month's heavy demand for chicken to supply to Israelis marking
Passover, as well as Muslims before the month-long Ramadan festival.
Hareetz
news said blood-contaminated water oozing from slaughterhouses in the
Palestinian Authority, through the Nablus and Nahal streams, had been
treated via filtration networks and separation tanks.
Water from
the river, which flows from mountain aquifers, is used for "the entire
population of the region, both Israeli and Palestinian", reports Globes
news.
The coordinator of activities in the Occupied Territories
said officials from both the "Palestinian side and on Israeli side are
carrying out works to clean the Alexander River [of animal parts]
illegally dumped by Tulkarm area factories.
"The Civil Administration has been working for months to prevent the waste from entering the river."
