Gaza Records Highest Chickenpox Cases
The Ministry of Health in Gaza reported a record high number of chickenpox cases, exceeding 53,000 since the beginning of the year. This surge occurs amidst the deterioration of the healthcare system, which hampers effective detection and prevention measures. Officials confirmed that the harsh living conditions in displacement camps are accelerating the spread of the disease, with around 5,000 new cases recorded weekly. The situation is expected to worsen due to difficulties in accessing vaccinations and medical supplies caused by imposed restrictions. Medical organizations have called on the international community to open safe passages to deliver vaccines and provide urgent interventions to curb the outbreak, which threatens the lives of the population.
