Chickenpox infections climb among displaced children in Gaza, UN says

The United Nations has reported a significant rise in chickenpox infections among displaced children in Gaza, with around 9,300 cases noted in just two weeks. The outbreak is largely attributed to overcrowded living conditions, poor sanitation, and limited access to clean water in displacement camps.

The situation has raised serious public health concerns, as many children are also suffering from acute respiratory and skin diseases. The ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza continues to exacerbate health issues among vulnerable populations, particularly children.
