WHO 'extremely concerned' over spread of disease in Gaza ahead of winter season

On Friday, the World Health Organization (WHO) said it was very concerned about the spread of disease in Gaza as weeks of Israeli bombardments have caused the population to crowd in shelters with scarce food and clean water.

"We are extremely concerned about the spread of the disease when the winter season arrives," said Richard Peeperkorn, WHO Representative in the Occupied Palestinian Territory.
