With the persistence of the extermination of the extermination that Israel is waging on Gaza’s cutting, satisfactory cases were registered that were rare, but with the war of starvation and the absence of health care, they appear and spread.
One of these diseases is Gilan Barre syndrome, which is also known as soft paralysis. The sector also witnessed the incidence of “Kwashiokur”. The sector also records a spread of “rare and complex” skin diseases, where water, food, and sanitation services, as well as high temperatures, are exacerbated by the spread of diseases such as impetigo and scabies, according to a report in the telegraph.
Cawchiocor’s disease is a type of hypnosis resulting from protein deficiency and energy. People with a severe protein decrease, in addition to some basic microorganisms.
Hydrominine deficiency causes fluid retention in tissues (edema), which distinguishes Cawachiokur disease from other malnutrition. People with Cocoorkur may appear skinny in their limbs, but they may suffer from swelling in their hands, feet, faces and stomachs. The typical flatulence of the Cocoorkor syndrome can be misleading for people who are already suffering from acute malnutrition.
Although many forms of nutrition, as well as malnutrition, can appear in the form of a distinctive large abdomen, Cocoorkor is the most common form of malnutrition that shows this symptom.
To understand the reason for this, it is important to know that flatulence in cases of malnutrition is not due to the accumulation of fat, but rather to water retention and fluid accumulation in the body, which leads to stretching of the abdomen, and then swelling.
Skin diseases are highly infected
Medical charitable societies say highly infected skin diseases in Gaza are increasing and spread due to a group of factors, including poor sanitation, summer heat, and repeated military displacement orders that disrupt treatment.
Although the skin infections caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites, such as lice, affect adults and children, young people and immunity weakness are the most affected.
In August, the Medical Aid Association for Palestinians (MAP) recorded hundreds of skin injuries in children in only clinics.
Pictures published by telegraph show severe cases of bubble imbalances, a highly infected bacterial skin disease characterized by the appearance of large liquid blisters. It can be prevented by following good hygiene procedures and topical antibiotics, but it may become a threat to life if left without treatment, causing cellulitis, kidney damage and scarring.
Other images show scabies, a leather disease caused by small licorice that digs in the skin and causes severe skin rashes.
The World Health Organization indicates that it is a general health problem that affects all social and economic ages and groups in Gaza.
The paramedics say itching and pain, which are aggravated by high temperatures, may be severe.
Skin infections
With the limited access to water and sanitation, experts say the rate of skin infections is rapidly increasing.
Hygiene is almost impossible in the many camps of the displaced in Gaza. Only one toilet is available for every 700 people, according to data from the European Civil Protection and Humanitarian Aid, a European Union wing.
Doctors Without Borders said that the limited access to clean water in Gaza also caused a high rate of skin diseases.
The medical charitable organization accused Israel last month deliberately depriving the Gaza population of water, by preventing the import of basic water safety systems. She added that only one out of 10 requests were approved to import desalination materials since June 2024.
Stops of garbage and wastewater scattered throughout the sector are exacerbated by the rapid spread of diseases.
The continuous bombing campaign also caused repeated damage to the basic water infrastructure in the sector. Among 196 desalination plants run by charities and non -profit organizations in Gaza, more than 60% of them are broken, according to MSF.
Virginia Monte, official of the Medical Emergency Project for MSF in Gaza, said the infection is also linked to the continuous displacement of the population.
“Obtaining health care is more difficult with the presence of health facilities in the areas where they are issued to evacuate or are targeted directly,” she told the Telegraph.
According to the United Nations, at least 1.9 million people – about 90% of Gaza population – have been displaced during the war. She added that many were abandoned from their homes 10 times or more.
“Inflammation of infections of the unexpected skin can lead to cysts, cellular fabric infection, and in severe cases, systemic infections,” Jamal Selim, a community health specialist at the Medical Aid for the Palestinians, told the Telegraph.
He added: “Some children also have a long -term scars or leather damage, especially in the event that medicines are not available.”
Experts say that the lack of food increases the problem. Selim confirms that the high levels of malnutrition means that patients are struggling to recover from skin diseases because many of them suffer from “immunity weakness”.
Famine
Today, Wednesday, the Ministry of Health in the Gaza Strip announced the registration of six new deaths, including a child, due to famine and malnutrition in the sector during the past 24 hours.
The ministry said in a statement: “The number of famine victims rises to 367 martyrs, including 131 children,” noting that since the announcement of the classification of starvation in the Gaza Strip on August 22, 89 deaths, including 16 children, have recorded.
The ministry confirmed that the humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip is continuing to exacerbate in light of the siege and the lack of food and medical supplies, renewing its call to the international community and relief institutions for immediate and urgent intervention.
The World Health Organization said on Friday that it had exhausted its stockpile of basic medical supplies to the need in Gaza to deal with the increase in cases of rare syndrome that causes paralysis in the Palestinian sector.
The organization stated that 10 people have died of 94 cases documented by Gilan Barre’s syndrome in Gaza since June, although this syndrome was rarely recorded in the Strip before the start of the Israeli genocide war on Gaza.
Gilan Barre’s syndrome is a rare condition in which the peripheral nerves attack attacks. The World Health Organization says that severe injury may lead to almost complete paralysis and breathing problems.
The organization added that the deaths included four children under the age of 15 and six older patients, who are 25 years old, noting that two deceased did not receive any treatment, which reflects an acute shortage of the necessary treatment supplies.
Although Ghilan Barre’s syndrome can usually be treated, the Health Organization says that a lack of some medical supplies hinders its treatment efforts.
“The intravenous immune globulin, which is the first treatment provided by the Ministry of Health (in Gaza) to treat the Gilan Barre syndrome, and plasma separation candidates are still not available, which leaves patients suspected of injury without treatment options.”
The process of separating the plasma is to withdraw the blood plasma or its components and treat it, then return it or replace it within the blood circulation.
The organization said that the high cases of Gilan Barre syndrome are primarily due to infections in the digestive and respiratory systems closely linked to the deterioration of water, sanitation and hygiene conditions.
“Given the sewage, water and sanitation … the conditions are prepared for any infection,” Health Organization spokesman Christian Lindamayer told reporters in Geneva.
The organization stated that population overcrowding and weak immunity among the population, in addition to increasing malnutrition, are all factors that contribute to the syndrome.
A report issued by the integrated phase of food security, a global hunger observation observatory, stated that about 514,000, which is nearly a quarter of the Gaza population, face the conditions of famine in Gaza City and the surrounding areas.
The organization explained that despite the improvement of monitoring work, the ability to diagnose is still limited, as blood serum samples are sent from cases suspected of syndrome in Gaza hospitals abroad to conduct tests.
Last month, the Director General of the Palestinian Ministry of Health in the Gaza Strip, Dr. Munir Al -Barash, said that the polluted water is the main cause of the disease of “Gilan Barre” syndrome, stressing that the treatment of this disease is not available in the sector.
Al -Barsh explained – in an interview with the island – that this viral disease begins with a sudden loss of the ability to move the muscles, indicating that it begins with the legs and then escalates up and affects children in particular.
Earlier today, Monday, the Ministry of Health in the sector announced the recording of 3 deaths with the “Gilan Barre” syndrome as a result of insecurity and the exacerbation of severe malnutrition in the sector.
Al -Barash stressed that the ministry has warned a while ago that the diseases have been spread, as the World Health Organization has informed since the emergence of “Gilan Barre” among the residents of Gaza, speaking about wholesale death for all groups, either by direct shelling or killing in aid centers and others.
He revealed that diseases are rampant in light of “wholesale death”, and pointed to the spread of infectious diseases and respiratory diseases.
Catastrophic
On August 12, the United Nations issued a warning that the health regime in Gaza was “catastrophic” with hospitals overcrowding and drug depletion.
In the United Nations statement, Dr. Rick Biberkorn, representative of the World Health Organization in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, stated that less than half of Gaza hospitals and less than 38% of primary health care centers are partially operating – or operate at minimum levels.
“The severe shortage of medicines and medical supplies continues, and it has exacerbated, as the stock of 52% of the drugs and 68% of medical supplies reached zero,” Dr. Biberkarn told reporters in Geneva, speaking from Jerusalem.
The cases of suspected meningitis reached 452 cases between July and early August, which is the highest number since the start of the Israeli innovation war. Gilan Barre’s syndrome, a rare post -infection disorder, has increased sharply, with 76 suspected cases since June.
Dr. Biberkorn emphasized that the treatment of these two cases is more difficult due to the “inventory” of biomedics, including venous immunoglobulin and anti -inflammatory.
Dr. Biberkorn indicated that international paramedics are facing a refusal to enter, while basic materials such as intensive care equipment, anesthetic devices and the refrigeration supply are still banned.
