Gaza - Ma'an - A series of diseases are spreading among the displaced people in the Gaza Strip related to the state of displacement and the lack of water for hygiene. The most prominent of these diseases are skin diseases that appear on children's bodies and cause them severe pain. Samah Azzam, a displaced person in Mawasi Khan Younis, says that her three children suffer from blisters on their bodies. She attributed the reason to the intense heat in the tents and the lack of cleaning materials and water. She said that the biggest problem is the water that we get after lining up for hours and in small quantities. According to statistics from the government media office in the Gaza Strip, the number of displaced people who have contracted infectious diseases as a result of the repeated displacement trips due to the ongoing Israeli war has reached more than 1.5 million displaced Palestinians. The office explained that 350,000 Palestinians have contracted a skin disease inside the displacement camps. For h is part, Mohammed Saqr, the nursing director at Nasser Medical Complex, attributed the spread of skin diseases among the displaced to environmental pollution, the lack of clean water, and the lack of healthy food. He pointed out that the accumulation of large amounts of waste near the tents of the displaced and the spread of sewage are factors leading to the spread of skin diseases. He called on international organizations to provide permanent water lines for the displaced, but the power outage for about ten months and the targeting of infrastructure prevent this.
