‘Nearly catastrophic’: Palestinian doctor describes conditions in Rafah camps

Medics at two clinics in the southern Gaza city of Rafah say diseases are spreading throughout refugee camps, particularly among children. The situation has worsened to the point the United States has begun airdropping humanitarian aid into the territory. “The situation in the camp is nearly catastrophic,” Palestinian doctor Rajaa Okasah said. “Food is not clean, people drink salty water because there is no fresh water, viruses and bacteria are alarming widespread among the children because of their weak immunity. “The situation is so bad here in this camp.”
