Doctors Without Borders (MSF) is distributing emergency sanitation units in the Gaza Strip amid a deteriorating situation for the approximately 90 per cent of the enclave’s population that is forcibly displaced due to Israeli attacks, Al Jazeera reports.

“We live a very difficult life like the rest of the displaced. There’s a lack of water, bathrooms, difficulty getting food and other necessities,” said Shahd Abu Samra, a young displaced woman from north Gaza.

“There’s a lack of hygiene kits, making them difficult to find. When available, they are very expensive.”
