Gaza municipality issued a warning on Thursday regarding the spread of diseases in the region. The warning was attributed to the accumulation of waste and sewage overflow resulting from Israel's bombardment. The municipality emphasized the urgent need for assistance from local and international institutions to address the deteriorating health and environmental conditions in Gaza. The ongoing aggression has severely hampered the municipality's ability to provide essential services, leading to a near-complete paralysis.
Health officials in Gaza have been raising concerns about the escalating risk of infectious diseases due to limited access to food and medicine. The public health crisis in Gaza has garnered attention from various entities, including the United Nations, international aid agencies, and non-governmental organizations. These organizations have been highlighting the dire consequences of poor sanitation and the collapse of the healthcare system in Gaza.
According to a recent report by the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), the healthcare conditions in Gaza have reached a catastrophic level, hindering the management of diseases for thousands of chronically ill patients. The situation calls for immediate action to prevent further deterioration of the health and environmental situation in Gaza.
