Palestinian Health Minister Dr. Majd Abu Ramadan: What is happening in Gaza is not a passing winter crisis. I am sending an urgent appeal to the international community, the UN and health, humanitarian and aid organizations to intervene immediately to save the lives of hundreds of thousands of displaced people in the Gaza Strip, after thousands of tents were flooded by rainwater and there was a lack of safe shelter. I warn against a catastrophic deterioration in health and environmental conditions and an escalation in the risks of the spread of diseases and epidemics.
