The Palestinian Ministry of Health said on Monday that around 700,000 people in Gaza now suffer from contagious diseases, including skin diseases, infections, diarrhoea and jaundice.
The ministry said the spread was due to Israel cutting off all food and water, as well as overcrowding in shelters and the number of forcibly displaced people.
