Doctors in southern Gaza have warned that infectious diseases are spreading rapidly through the territory, due to overcrowding caused by the mass evacuation of civilians as Israel’s military campaign moves south.
Asem Mohammed, 24, a volunteer doctor at Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, told The Independent the area surrounding the hospital was “full of infectious diseases and epidemiological issues”, including “fungal infections”, “dermatological infections” and “pneumonia”.
