According to new data published by the Ministry of Health in Gaza (MoH), of 34,344 fatalities who were killed as of 31 August and whose full information has been identified, over 11,000 were children.
Humanitarian actors specializing in health, water, sanitation, and hygiene urgently call for increased access to soap, detergents, and other cleaning materials to combat diarrhea and skin infections.
As of 23 July, about 22,500 people who have been injured – a quarter of the all MoH-reported injuries – are estimated to have life-changing injuries that require rehabilitation, according to the World Health Organization.
Multiple Israeli-issued evacuation orders in recent months have delayed or interrupted support to people facing gender-based violence (GBV), including medical care to GBV survivors, by forcing the closure or relocation of service delivery points. ochaopt.org
