Gaza faces severe smallpox outbreak
The health and humanitarian conditions in Gaza remain at the forefront, as the territory faces a worsening outbreak of chickenpox due to overcrowding in displaced persons camps, alongside deteriorating water and sanitation services and rising temperatures. The Ministry of Health has recorded over 9,300 cases in two weeks, with most cases concentrated in densely populated areas such as Khan Younis. There is a severe shortage of essential medications, especially for cancer treatment, leading to the suspension of many treatment protocols and a significant decline in medical services. Additionally, Israeli military operations continue to escalate, with the death toll rising to over 1,180 since the ceasefire began, amid ongoing displacement and destruction within the sector.
