Gaza Winter Health Crisis
The World Health Organization warned that respiratory illnesses are worsening among displaced people in Gaza, with 33,000 more cases of acute respiratory infection recorded than during the same period last year. These infections account for about 11% of medical consultations at shelters. The organization attributed the increase to overcrowding, poor ventilation, rain and cold weather. Around one million displaced people are at risk of flooding, including 400,000 at sites facing severe danger. The WHO called for laboratory equipment and medical supplies to be allowed into Gaza, warning that shortages are hindering the diagnosis and treatment of diseases and increasing the risk of outbreaks.
