Palestinians Protest in Gaza Over Worsening Crisis
At a refugee camp in Gaza City, protesters carried signs reading, “Enough with injustice and neglect,” “An epidemic is threatening us,” and “Trash is everywhere.”
Participants urged the United Nations to uphold its responsibilities and stand with Gaza’s population as the humanitarian emergency intensifies.
Eylin, a young Palestinian girl displaced by Israeli strikes, told a correspondent: “We live in tents that offer no protection from heat or cold.” She added, “Children and people are dying because of disease, rodents, and extreme cold. We want to rebuild our lives and we need homes that will protect us.”
Said Akluk, an official with Gaza’s Health Ministry, explained that the territory lacks adequate waste management systems. He noted that ongoing attacks have prevented garbage from being transported to landfills outside residential areas under sanitary conditions.
Akluk further stressed that tents fail to meet even basic hygiene standards, fueling the spread of infectious diseases. He added that rodents and insects have multiplied because Israel has blocked the entry of pest control supplies.
