Caption: Dry sludge produced from Gaza Wastewater Treatment Plant, May 2007. There are no treatment facilities for sludge in Gaza and it is just exposed to dry in the sun before disposing to the solid waste dumping sites. The sludge was sampled to be analyzed in the laboratories of Heidelberg University, Germany. The results of the analysis could help researchers and decision makers to use the sludge in agriculture.
