Gaza Children Suffer from Chickenpox
The Gaza Strip is experiencing a sharp rise in cases of chickenpox, particularly among children and infants, with the number of infected individuals nearing 10,000 since the beginning of 2026. This spread is attributed to deteriorating health and environmental conditions, such as overcrowding in displacement camps, a shortage of clean water, and declining sanitation and hygiene services, along with the unavailability of necessary vaccines and medications. Infants are most vulnerable to severe complications, including pneumonia, encephalitis, and other infections, with warnings that the health crisis may worsen due to these conditions. The situation requires improvements in water and healthcare services, as well as the provision of medicines and vaccines to combat this escalating epidemic.
