The United Nations has reported an uptick in preventable diseases in Gaza due to the Israeli blockade, which is causing a shortage of medicine and clean water, resulting in civilian deaths. The humanitarian agency, OCHA, warns that this crisis is exacerbating the health situation in the region. The lack of essential supplies is making it difficult for medical personnel to treat patients effectively, leading to a rise in preventable illnesses. This has resulted in significant human suffering and loss of life among civilians in Gaza.
