UN, partners step up efforts to reduce health risks in Gaza

UN humanitarians and partners are stepping up efforts to help Gazans reduce major public health risks, including rodent infestation, said the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) on Wednesday.
Widespread rodent and ectoparasite infestations were reported in 83 percent of displacement sites assessed earlier this month, alongside sewage in streets, stagnant water and poor sanitation conditions, said OCHA.
