Overcrowding makes isolation impossible, with families of six or more sharing tents of just a few square metres. Thousands of children born during the war were unable to complete their vaccinations, leaving the most vulnerable unprotected.

Is the international community doing enough to prevent disease outbreaks in Gaza?
