WHO warns of rising health threats in Gaza
The World Health Organization warns of increasing health risks in Gaza, as microbiological water pollution has risen by more than threefold between January and August, leading to a rise in acute diarrhea cases from approximately 27,000 to over 48,000 during the same period. With the rainy season approaching, risks are intensifying due to garbage accumulation and deteriorating infrastructure, which threaten to spread waterborne diseases—especially amid ongoing shortages of clean water and a fragile healthcare system. The organization calls for the establishment of permanent shelters, sustainable water supplies, and waste management systems, as well as urgent access for Israeli authorities to deliver essential medicines and laboratory supplies.
