After the long conflict and blockade in Gaza, the health system is already working at the limit of its capacity. With the arrival of winter, the risk of floods and survivable diseases is expected to increase.
UN Secretary General Spokesperson Stephane Dujarric informed journalists about the developments in the Middle East at the daily press conference.
Quoting the findings of World Health Organization (WHO) Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, Dujarric touched upon the "public health difficulties" that Palestinians in Gaza will experience with the approach of winter.
In his statement, Dujarric pointed out that Palestinians had to live very crowdedly in tent cities, and said, "Dr. Tedros warned that Gaza's health system, which is currently at the limit of its capacity, will not be able to handle new increases in diseases and illnesses."
Considering the possibility that, as winter progresses and rains begin in Gaza, flood waters will increase the risk of disease by spreading sewage waste and dirty water to densely populated areas, Dujarric said that Ghebreyesus called for "increasing access to limited laboratory and diagnostic materials, basic medicines, rehabilitation equipment and public health services."
Dujarric noted that the UN and humanitarian partners in Gaza continue to support Palestinians' preparations for the rainy season, but "more resources and access are urgently needed" for this support to be sufficient.
