Infectious diseases are ravaging the people of the Gaza Strip, the World Health Organization said Monday, as more people flee to overcrowded shelters in the south where dire conditions and a scarcity of food and clean water have set off a public health crisis.
Limited sanitation facilities and overcrowding in shelters are causing the spread of disease and keeping people from recovering, said Shannon Barkley, the health systems team lead at the World Health Organization's offices in Gaza and the West Bank.
