The spokesperson for the Ministry of Health in Gaza, Ashraf al-Qudra, stated that the ministry has recorded over 700,000 cases of infectious diseases, skin ailments, colds, diarrhea, and epidemic hepatitis among displaced Palestinians in the Strip.

In a statement on Monday evening, al-Qudra added that overcrowding, lack of appropriate shelter, insufficient and suitable food and beverages, and the absence of required medical care exacerbate the health and humanitarian crisis for the displaced.
