The Middle East conflict has been escalating for over a year. The streets of Gaza are littered with rubble and garbage. People stand at makeshift stalls for food, clothing and other essential goods. They live in the remains of their former homes or, like thousands of other Palestinians displaced from northern Gaza, in plastic tents. Diseases and infections spread rapidly under these living conditions due to poor hygiene. In addition to the already high number of war deaths, many people also die every day from chronic diseases.
As is so often the case, the weakest and most vulnerable groups in society are most affected: the elderly, the sick, pregnant women and children. Around 1.9 million Palestinians are currently on the run. According to UN estimates, 893,000 of them are children.
