Overcrowded shelters helping spread infections in Gaza, UNRWA warns

General


GAZA: The UN Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) has warned that the overcrowded shelters and the lack of hygiene are advancing the spread of infectious diseases in Gaza.

It said in a post on X, “Overcrowded shelters and lack of hygiene are advancing the spread of infectious diseases in Gaza.”

The UN agency said its teams continue to provide healthcare to vulnerable people, including children and the elderly. “But vaccines and medicines are far from enough. We need safe and unrestricted access.”
