Meningitis rises in Gaza
Gaza is seeing a worrying rise in cases of bacterial meningitis among children. Nasser Medical Complex has recorded around 15 cases in its nursery ward over a short period, and four children have died from complications of the disease. Specialists attribute the outbreak to overcrowding, malnutrition, a lack of clean water, and deteriorating sanitation. Delayed diagnosis can lead to permanent disabilities or death. Families are calling for vaccines, medicines, and medical supplies, as well as improved conditions for displaced people and better medical care to curb the spread of infection.
