UN report: Gaza recorded 9,300 chickenpox cases in just two weeks

A UN report found 9,300 chickenpox cases in Gaza over two weeks, with over half in Khan Younis. The outbreak is linked to overcrowding, poor hygiene, and inadequate sanitation in displacement sites, where 1.7 million people are hosted. Health risks are exacerbated by limited access to clean water, improper waste management, and rodent infestations.
