Permalink Infectious diseases sweeping Gaza; another blow to healthcare system

Illnesses and diseases are tearing through the survivors of the aggression. | Amid the turmoil Gazans have found themselves in due to "Israel's" genocidal war, with the lack of clean water, food, medicinal aid, overcrowded shelters, and the cold weather of December, illnesses and diseases are tearing through the survivors.  As Gaza remains deprived of aid and with the constant reckless bombardment that destroys hospice facilities and aid coming into the Strip, those who have fallen ill find themselves unable to receive treatment as doctors scurry the limited resources they still have to Palestinians who have been injured by Israeli strikes.  The catastrophic collapse of Gaza's healthcare system has made it unfeasible to collect data on the exact number of people and children consumed by illnesses, but the World Health Organization, with records from the Ministry of Health in Gaza and the UNRWA, reported at least 369,000 cases of infectious diseases. However, Shannon Barkley, the health systems team lead at the World Health Organization’s offices in Gaza and the West Bank, mentioned that the aforementioned number is restricted to southern Gaza and excludes cases in northern Gaza, leading the organization to predict a much higher number.
