The UN agency added today, Friday, in a post on (X) platform that its teams are continuing to offer health care for the vulnerable persons in Gaza, including children and old people.

The UNRWA added" Vaccines and medicines in Gaza Strip are insufficient and the extremely overcrowded IDPs camps amid lacking cleanness is likely to further increase the outbreaks of the pandemics and infectious diseases".
