And skin diseases are spreading even more rapidly than they were up until recent weeks. At the end of July there were around 103,000 reported cases of lice and scabies in Gaza and 65,000 of skin rashes, according to the World Health Organization. And according to the UN Development program, more than one million cases of acute respiratory infections have been recorded since October, along with more than 500,000 of acute diarrhea and more than 100,000 of jaundice.Such a health disaster was inevitable considering the conditions in the overcrowded tent camps that house hundreds of thousands of Palestinians, where temperatures are unbearably high during the summer, and people don’t have access to soap. The sanitation system has collapsed; pools of open sewage lay among the rubble.

Seventy percent of all sewage pumps in Gaza have been destroyed, and not a single wastewater treatment plant is working. A video recorded by an Israeli soldier from the combat engineering corps, tweeted by Palestinian reporter Younis Tirawi on July 26, shows the calculated demolition of a chief water facility in Rafah.
