Exclusive: Gaza Faces Rising Threat of Dermatological Diseases Turning Into Epidemic Hotspots
The Gaza Strip provinces are experiencing a dangerous surge in the spread of skin diseases, especially chickenpox, amid the deterioration of the healthcare system and shortages of medicines and medical supplies due to the harsh environmental conditions in the displacement camps. Over the past two weeks, the sector recorded approximately 9,300 cases, which has risen to around 18,000 according to the World Health Organization. There is a growing number of skin infections and allergies resulting from water contamination, waste accumulation, declining hygiene, and rodent infestations. Health authorities warn of the potential for these diseases to develop into an uncontrollable epidemic. There is a severe shortage of medications, especially those for children, and weak preventive measures due to overcrowding. Medical officials call for urgent international intervention to provide medical supplies and rapidly improve environmental conditions to prevent the health crisis from worsening in the coming weeks.
