Medical Aid for Palestinians said on Monday that the humanitarian situation in Gaza is rapidly deteriorating as a result of Israel bombing sanitation systems as well as bakeries and supermarkets.
According to the organisation, around 71,000 cases of diarrhoea have been recorded in children.
The United Nations children's organisation Unicef added that 90 percent of children under two years now meet the definition of “severe food poverty,” in the besieged enclave.
