The blistering rash on 7-month-old Sobhia’s skin is the result of bacteria from polluted water, doctors told her mother.
The infant, who was born a few months after the start of the Israel-Hamas war, is one of many young children in Gaza coming down with ailments associated with drinking or bathing in contaminated water, according to families, doctors and humanitarian groups in the area. Common issues include hepatitis and skin infections.
Humanitarian groups have tried to help repair infrastructure, install septic tanks and distribute clean water and chlorine tablets, but their access to the enclave is extremely limited. So inhabitants have been left to drink and bathe in untreated seawater contaminated with sewage, without soap or disinfectants.
The United Nations estimates that there have been nearly 40,000 cases of hepatitis A in Gaza since the war began, compared to just 85 from October 2022 to July 2023. That’s in addition to more than 1 million new acute respiratory infections, more than half a million cases of acute diarrhea and more than 100,000 cases of jaundice. From October to late June, the World Health Organization also recorded around 65,000 cases of skin rashes and more than 103,000 cases of scabies and lice.

Stop making sense. The uncivilized don’t understand it.
Another simple solution: boil your water before cooking or drinking. Oh, and demand that your leaders figure into their battle plans how to protect mamas and children instead of using them for shields. The world knows they do it.
Now Gaza will know better the next time they get the itch to rob, rape and murder.
they wanna call it their country, so get busy with y’all’s own infrastructure!@
God has He’s way.
Brutal truth. Also seems like if they’d release whatever hostages remain alive, they might get some kind of a break. Out of the question, apparently...
God has His way.
(sigh - autofill)
Besides not knowing what river or what sea let alone what river to the sea means
Might want to educate themselves on who provides most of the power water and food to these fools
Millions of useful idiots
I think we should start a fundraiser to send lgbtqxyz for Palestine to Palestine so they can protest there

Probably not a good idea to take the water pipes to make rockets.
Stupid is, as stupid does... There’s plenty of clean water being brought in... But these squatters are so used to wallowing in the GAZA dirt, they just too dumb to understand cleanliness.
unconditional surrender
Well I guess they had better stop supporting hamas and start siding with Israel to get rid of hamas then, huh?
To the core the leftist agenda is chaos. Truth, facts and reality don’t matter in fact you are screamed at and called racist, facist, nazi(but I repeat myself) ….phobic
When even remotely challenged on their “facts” they lose it.
My favorite used to be the gay folks wearing Che t- shirts, but now it has to be lgbtq folks for palatine
Stupid is no way to go through life…..
Good video, sadly the information is out there they just choose to disregard it and worse
They bathe? d;^)
BFH (Boo Hoo)
Probably hard to boil water when you don’t have a source of energy to heat it with.
As for the water, well, when your leaders dig up waterlines to make rockets out of the pipes I don’t have much sympathy for the government you voted for.
They voted and they “got it good and hard”
“ The blistering rash on 7-month-old Sobhia’s skin is the result of bacteria from polluted water…”
Sounds like they should put that baby in an oven to cure this. I’m sure the terrorists were thinking like that on Oct. 7.
