Palestine to Build a $50m Sewage Treatment Plant

Palestine will construct a $50m sewage treatment plant, which will treat three million cubic metres of water a year.

The project, which is funded by Germany, will benefit Palestinians and Israelis.

Some of the treated water will also be used by farmers in the West Bank to meet water shortages in the area.

The project has been held up since 2001 because of fighting between the neighbouring people.

The project will be completed within two years, according to The Associated Press.
