* Middle East - August 7th, 2010
As you approach Gaza's main dump by road you see a massive wall of trash looming over the plain.
It's crawling with around one hundred scavenger dogs and dozens of poor children, combing through the trash for anything they can sell.
In this cesspit of disease is 20 percent of all the donated medicine Gaza has received since the end of the January 2009 war with Israel.
The Health Ministry in the deposed government of Hamas and the World Health Organisation say this aid had already expired or was close to expiring, before it arrived in Gaza.

Note:
The expired medicine is harmful.
