Gaza on the Brink: Imminent Disease Outbreak Threatens Health Crisis

Health organizations are warning of an imminent public health crisis in the Gaza Strip, as disruptions to health and water systems are increasing the risk of disease outbreaks. The lack of access to safe water and sanitation, along with the closure of primary health facilities, has created conditions for the spread of waterborne illnesses such as cholera and typhoid. The World Health Organization (WHO) has reported a significant increase in bacterial infections, including diarrhea, affecting thousands of people. With overcrowded health facilities and shelters, the risk of infectious disease transmission is high. Both the WHO and the International Rescue Committee (IRC) are calling for a humanitarian cease-fire to allow aid into the strip.
