UNRWA warns of increased disease and skin infections in Gaza

The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) says families in Gaza have extremely limited access to clean water, hygiene products and cleaning supplies.

This is leading to an increase in disease and skin infections, the agency said according to Al Jazeera.

In a post on X, UNRWA said it “continues to work to prevent the spread of infections but resources are limited. We need safe and unimpeded humanitarian access”.
