At least 9 out of 10 children in the Gaza Strip under the age of 5 suffer from one or more infectious diseases.
This was reported by the representative office of the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) in the occupied Palestinian territories.
"The health situation in Gaza continues to deteriorate: 9 out of 10 children under the age of 5 suffer from one or more infectious diseases," the report says.
The document also indicates that 25% of women in the Gaza Strip suffer from skin diseases and other health problems, reports tass.ru.
As follows from the report of the representative office of the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs in the Occupied Palestinian Territories, there are still no favorable conditions for the delivery of a sufficient number of humanitarian supplies to the enclave.
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres on Tuesday, October 29, sent a letter to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu protesting against the new law adopted the day before in the country prohibiting the activities of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA).
