An earth embankment around a cesspool suddenly collapsed Tuesday, spewing a river of sewage and mud that killed four people and forced residents to flee from this village in the northern Gaza Strip, officials said. A local official blamed shoddy infrastructure in Umm Naser, a town of 3,000, for the disaster. (AP Photo/Khalil Hamra) Khalil Hamra
