UNRWA warns of spread of insects in Gaza amidst deteriorating conditions

17 Sep 2024 - 16:27

The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) warned on Tuesday of the spread of rodents and insects in the Gaza Strip, which poses a threat to people's health in light of the deteriorating conditions.


It added, "UNRWA teams are working to support displaced families in shelters, with the aim of preventing these pests from invading the crowded spaces in which they live."
Since the beginning of the Israeli aggression on Gaza, Palestinians have been facing the suffering of repeated displacement, as the Israeli army orders residents of residential areas and neighborhoods to evacuate them in preparation for bombing, destroying and breaking into them.
Two million displaced people out of 2.3 million Palestinian people are forced to seek refuge in schools or the homes of their relatives or acquaintances, or to set up tents in the streets, schools or other places such as prisons and amusement parks, under difficult humanitarian conditions, as water and food are not available, and diseases are spreading.
