GAZA, March 27 (Reuters) - Raw sewage erupted from holding pools and swept through a village in the northern Gaza Strip on Tuesday, causing at least one death, Palestinian rescue workers said.

They said dozens of residents of Gaza's small Bedouin village were unaccounted for after the sewage overflowed from ground-level treatment pools, knocking down many makeshift homes.

It was not immediately clear what caused the sewage to erupt from the pools.
