As Israeli attacks continue in Gaza, thousands of forcibly displaced Palestinians are facing a sanitation crisis that is putting their lives at risk. With over 450,000 houses damaged, many families are living in tents that lack basic facilities, leading to widespread diseases like dysentery and hepatitis, particularly among children.
The hot summer weather and poor sanitation conditions are only exacerbating the situation, making it even more urgent for aid to reach those in need. UN agencies and health professionals have issued warnings that without a ceasefire and immediate assistance, more lives will be lost.
Al Jazeera’s Hind Khoudary reports from one camp in Deir al Balah, located in central Gaza, where the dire conditions are evident. The people there are struggling to survive amidst the ongoing conflict and lack of adequate resources.
The situation in Gaza is a humanitarian crisis that demands immediate attention and action from the international community. Time is of the essence in providing aid and relief to those who have been displaced and are suffering due to the ongoing conflict and lack of basic necessities.
