The Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza said yesterday that around 700,000 people in Gaza now suffer from contagious diseases, including skin diseases, infections, diarrhoea and jaundice, as a result of “overcrowding inside shelters, lack of food, water and required medical care.” Ministry spokesman, Ashraf Al-Qudra, told reporters outside Tal Al-Sultan Maternity Hospital in the city of Rafah, south of the Gaza Strip, that about two million displaced people are living in catastrophic conditions in overcrowded shelters as winter conditions intensify.
