Meningitis surges in Gaza
Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Younis recorded six cases of bacterial meningitis among children over the course of a month; four of them died. Before the war, there were one or two cases a year. No comprehensive data on cases across the Gaza Strip have been released, and a widespread outbreak has not been confirmed. The increased risk is attributed to overcrowding in shelters and tents, deteriorating water and sanitation services, malnutrition, and shortages of medicines and tests, all of which make prevention and treatment more difficult. Symptoms may include high fever, headache, a stiff neck, vomiting, lethargy, or seizures. Suspected cases require urgent medical care, as bacterial infections can progress rapidly and become life-threatening.
