“has been virtually decimated by three years of war”
Why this matters
The Independent says Gaza's ability to handle garbage and sewage and to deliver clean water was destroyed by "three years of war", naming no one who did it.
The impression it gives
The collapse of Gaza's water and sanitation systems is a side effect of fighting with no clear author.
The context
The article itself says Israel's offensive destroyed much of Gaza. It also says many items remain blocked by Israel, which bears on whether these systems can be repaired.
