Health Crisis Worsens Amid Gaza Blockade
News summary

The humanitarian crisis in Gaza has escalated dramatically due to an ongoing Israeli blockade and military actions, leaving residents in dire need of basic necessities such as food, water, and healthcare. Reports from local health workers reveal a severe shortage of hygiene products, with pediatricians advising drastic measures like cutting hair due to lack of combs. The World Health Organization indicates that only 16 out of 36 hospitals are partially operational, and vulnerable populations such as children and pregnant women are particularly affected by the collapse of the health system. Additionally, the blockade has led to a significant rise in infectious diseases, including a resurgence of polio, attributed to declining immunization rates and poor sanitary conditions. Humanitarian workers describe the situation as precarious, with many areas suffering from destruction and a lack of essential supplies. Urgent international intervention is required to facilitate aid and protect healthcare workers in this conflict zone.
