Nada Abu Alrub, an Australian doctor who volunteered in Gaza, explains that Israel is not only killing Palestinians through bombs and gunfire, but is also creating the conditions for a growing public health disaster.
She says disease is spreading rapidly, particularly among children and the elderly, as restrictions on medical aid, mass displacement, and the collapse of sanitation systems accelerate the spread of infections and preventable illnesses across the Gaza Strip, including dangerous diseases such as leptospirosis.
