"WHO: Disease Poses Greater Threat than Bombs in Gaza, Urgent Action Needed"

The World Health Organization (WHO) has warned that more people in Gaza could die from health problems, such as infectious diseases, than from aerial strikes during the Israel-Hamas war. The war has caused a public health crisis in Gaza, with a collapsed health system and unlivable conditions. The lack of potable water supplies, sanitation, and medical access has created a recipe for epidemics, as displaced Palestinians are forced to take shelter in cramped homes and camps. The WHO is urging immediate action to restore the health system, provide running water, and reconstruct shelters to prevent a higher death toll from disease. The White House is prioritizing the delivery of vaccines, medical goods, and essential supplies to Gaza to address the health concerns.
