UN warns of Gaza health risk
The World Health Organization has warned that Gaza’s health and humanitarian catastrophe will worsen as winter approaches, stressing that “the worst is yet to come.” Around 950,000 displaced people are staying in flood-prone areas, including 400,000 in sites at especially high risk, while about 90% of civilian infrastructure has been damaged. Respiratory infections have risen by around 33,000 cases compared with the same period last year, accounting for 11% of medical consultations. Rain has also damaged about nine health facilities, as the health system struggles beyond capacity amid shortages of fuel and supplies. The organization called for tents, blankets, clean-water and waste-management supplies, as well as medical and laboratory equipment and fuel, to protect displaced people and support health services.
