Dangerous Illness Spreading Rapidly in Gaza: Doctors Struggle to Treat It

The reality in Gaza is far more dire than often portrayed, with the population facing severe health crises, including malnutrition-related illnesses. A dangerous virus, causing paralytic diseases, is currently spreading. The situation is particularly alarming for children, who are constantly undernourished and lack essential vitamins.

Doctors report a surge in cases of Acute Flaccid Paralysis (AFP) in Gaza. This rare syndrome causes sudden muscle weakness, making it difficult for patients to breathe and swallow. Experts attribute the spread of such infectious diseases to the complete destruction of Gaza's sewage and sanitation systems due to Israeli bombings.
