🇵🇸 As dead bodies remain scattered in streets and under rubble, a new health disaster looms over Gaza | Euro Med HR Monitor
Geneva - A health disaster looms in the Gaza Strip, warned Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor, as dead bodies remain scattered in the streets and under the rubble of buildings destroyed by the Israeli aggression, which is in its seventh week now. The rights organisation pointed to the risk of diseases, such as cholera and disorders of the immune system, spreading throughout the Strip.
The humanitarian situation is dramatically deteriorating in the Gaza Strip due to the lack of access to water, electricity, and equipment needed to bury the bodies of the dead. This constitutes a dangerous threat to public health and the environment, Euro-Med Monitor stated, and may serve as breeding grounds not only for infectious and communicable diseases, but also for skin and respiratory problems.
Euro-Med Monitor estimated that 4,150 people are missing beneath the debris of buildings hit by Israeli air and artillery strikes, with little hope of survival. Hundreds of additional bodies that cannot be recovered remain on the roads, particularly in areas where the Israeli army has conducted ground incursions.

🇵🇸 ‘It’s Bisan From Gaza, And Diseases Are Spreading At These Schools' | Voices from Gaza - AJ+
Bisan Owda, a video journalist in Gaza, takes us inside the UN schools that now act as shelters for over 1 million displaced Palestinians. The schools are severely overcrowded and lack proper sanitation — as many as 160 people are forced to share a single toilet. Some shelters have seen outbreaks of #cholera and #hepatitis.
But even these shelters are not safe — Israel is now demanding that the Palestinians sheltering in #KhanYounis flee farther south to #Rafah.
