According to the World Health Organization (WHO), more than 150,000 people in Gaza have contracted skin diseases due to the poor living conditions displaced Palestinians have been forced to live in since the start of Israel’s war on the enclave.
Scabies and chickenpox are particularly widespread.
"Do you know how our lives were and have become? How can you imagine children living this displacement and this pain, screaming with all fear. The night passes over them, complete darkness, the sounds of flying and terror. There is no electricity or any necessities for life. They fear death. They wonder which of us will die first."
