Dead Sea an 'ecological disaster', but no one can agree how to fix it
Dead Sea an 'ecological disaster', but no one can agree how to fix it

The Dead Sea, nestled where Israeli, Jordanian and Palestinian territory meet, has famously been dying for years.

The shrinking sea's highly salty waters are rapidly retreating due to industrial use and climate change, which is accelerating their natural evaporation.

With war raging in the Middle East, efforts to tackle this ever-worsening ecological disaster appear to have dissolved, too.

The Israeli government claims it is looking into several solutions, including building a desalination facility and forging a canal from either the north or the south to address the general water shortages in the region, including the Dead Sea.
