Gaza Winter Health Risks
Palestinian Health Minister Majed Abu Ramadan warned on Saturday, November 7, 2026, of the risk of infectious diseases spreading among displaced people in the Gaza Strip, as rainwater floods tents and water and sanitation services deteriorate. He said that cold, damp conditions, overcrowding, and shortages of food and medicine—along with rainwater mixing with sewage and mounting waste—heighten the risk of respiratory illnesses, diarrhea, intestinal infections, and skin diseases. The statement did not report any confirmed disease outbreak. He called for weather-resistant shelter, safe drinking water, hygiene and heating supplies, repairs to drainage networks, and waste removal, as well as support for hospitals, mobile health care, vaccination, and disease surveillance.
