Chickenpox sweeps Gaza camps as thousands of cases emerge in two weeks
Thousands of children born during the war could not complete their vaccination, leaving the most vulnerable without protection. Chickenpox is spreading rapidly through Gaza's displacement camps, with around 9,300 cases recorded in just two weeks across more than 130 health facilities, as doctors warn that the real scale of the outbreak is almost certainly larger than the figures suggest. ADVERTISEMENT ADVERTISEMENT The UN health cluster attributed the surge to extreme overcrowding in displacement sites, high summer temperatures and declining access to clean water.
