#GazaHealthCrisis

Children in Gaza are suffering from body sores and infections due to poor hygiene in overcrowded tent camps. Lack of cleaning supplies, destroyed sanitation systems, and scarce water exacerbate the spread of disease. The health crisis is dire, with a polio epidemic and increasing bacterial infections. Israeli attacks have worsened conditions, killing many children and leaving survivors vulnerable to famine and disease.
