Dr. Mohammad Abu Afash, Director of Medical Relief in northern Gaza, said that primary healthcare centers and hospitals are receiving a large number of daily cases, with reports from the Ministry of Health and the World Health Organization warning that more than 30% of patients are suffering from various skin diseases.
He attributed the rise in cases to severe water shortages, lack of medicines, accumulated waste, and the spread of rtas and insects, conditions caused and worsened by the Israeli genocide, blockade and attacks, affecting more than 14,500 people in the Strip.
