"WHO warns that mass displacement in Gaza raises infectious disease risks."

The World Health Organization (WHO) has issued a concerning warning about the severe impact of mass displacement in Gaza on public health. The overcrowding, lack of proper shelter, and poor water, sanitation, and hygiene conditions are creating a heightened risk of communicable diseases. In a heartfelt statement on Tuesday, WHO expressed deep concern that the number of patients in need of medical evacuation outside Gaza is expected to rise due to the ongoing conflict and the strain on the health system. The UN agency has passionately urged the establishment of multiple medical evacuation corridors out of Gaza to ensure the safe and timely passage of patients through all available routes.
