WHO: Disease could be bigger killer than bombs in Gaza

More people could die from disease than from bombings in the Gaza Strip if its health system is not repaired, a World Health Organization (WHO) spokesperson said on Tuesday.

Gaza health authorities deemed reliable by the United Nations say more than 15,000 people have been confirmed killed in Israel’s bombardment of Gaza, around 40 percent of them children, with many more dead feared to be lost under rubble.
