Infant in Gaza Battles Smallpox Amid Catastrophic Conditions
The Gaza Strip is facing a severe health and humanitarian crisis due to the worsening health conditions and the spread of infectious diseases, especially chickenpox, which is rapidly affecting children and infants. The healthcare system is suffering from a critical shortage of medicines, vaccines, and medical supplies, in addition to the destruction of health facilities and restrictions on the entry of medical supplies, all of which increase the risk of more infections and complications. Experts warn that ongoing circumstances could lead to a larger health catastrophe, with the spread of diseases fueled by overcrowding, waste accumulation, and the proliferation of insects—particularly among children, pregnant women, and those suffering from malnutrition.
