Doctors Without Borders, also known as MSF, says the lack of sanitation services in Khan Younis is resulting in the spread of infectious skin diseases among children, Al Jazeera reports.
“The living conditions are extremely difficult. Every day, we see between 300 to 400 people at the medical clinic, of which 200 cases are related to skin conditions,” said Dr Youssef Salaf al-Farra, a paediatrician working at an MSF-supported clinic.
“Children are the most impacted, especially by skin conditions that are highly contagious,” he said.
