29. Asbestos in Gaza with Nora Adin Fares

The United Nations estimates that 800,000 of bombed-out debris in Gaza may be contaminated with the toxic mineral asbestos. Asbestos is a mineral that poses little threat to humans when undisturbed, but is highly carcinogenic - that is, it leads to severe forms of cancer, mainly in the lungs - when it is released into the atmosphere and inhaled by humans.

In today's programme Edgar speaks with Nora about this terrifying piece of news and what it could mean for the future of Gaza's population, already suffering under what an increasing number of legal scholars are calling a genocide.
