[20/ July/2024]
GENEVAJuly 20. 2024 (Saba) -The World Health Organization has warned that the destruction of health infrastructure and environmental conditions in the Gaza Strip “create an ideal environment for the spread of diseases.”

The organization’s spokesman, Christiane Lindmeier, stressed in a statement last night that “the destruction of the health system in Gaza, the lack of security, obstructed access, the ongoing displacement of residents, the lack of medical supplies, poor water quality and poor sanitation, all lead to low rates of routine vaccination and an increased risk of infection” of vaccine-preventable diseases, including polio.
