Rise in skin infections and waterborne diseases in Gaza
New York, February 27 (Hibya) – The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) stated that its teams in Gaza have reported a sharp increase in skin infections and waterborne diseases.
In a statement, UNRWA said that forced displacement and restrictions on aid in Gaza have led to overcrowded shelters, deteriorating shelter conditions, and inadequate hygiene.
The statement noted that this situation has increased the spread of diseases and that teams in Gaza have reported a sharp rise in skin infections and waterborne illnesses. “UNRWA is working to help people through health and hygiene services. However, we need to be allowed to do more to respond to the enormous needs,” the statement said.
