00:00For months we've been warned about the deteriorating humanitarian situation in Gaza and now it's all coming to a head.
00:07Due to continued military operations perpetrated by the IDF, refugees have been forced to flee to now overcrowded areas of the Gaza Strip.
00:15As a result, it's now being reported that water contamination and skin diseases are now rampant.
00:20This video was recently released by Reuters, showing just how dire the situation has become.
00:25Parents say that the schools are epicenters for disease spread and the continued war on the Palestinian people is to blame.
00:32Others say that sewage in the streets and lack of access to food and medicine and shortages of other supplies are contributing to the worsening situation.
00:40Cases are now piling up at the already strained hospitals.
00:43Medical care was spread thin with wounded from Israeli attacks.
00:46Now they must treat the overwhelming number of those who have contracted diseases.
00:50Doctors say that Israeli occupants have disallowed the entry of vaccines into the area, in particular polio vaccines.
00:57They add that polio is present in sewage water.
01:00And last month Gaza's health ministry already declared an epidemic in one Palestinian refugee camp.
