‘Contagious diseases running rampant,’ warns doctor

Dr. Alice Rothchild, from Jewish voice for peace has told Al Jazeera that there is currently nothing positive about the situation at hospitals in Gaza.

Diseases are spreading among Gaza evacuees packed into schools and other shelters and surviving on tiny amounts of food and water, international aid agencies say.

“There are now contagious diseases that are running rampant,” Dr Alice Rothchild told Al Jazeera from Seattle.

“We’re seeing an increase in chickenpox, scabies, respiratory disease, diarrhoea. You have to remember there’s no clean water so all the diseases that go along with a sanitation system that’s not working are going to peak. We’re talking about an outbreak of cholera.

“And then you have women who are pregnant and not receiving prenatal care. This is happening right now.”
