Antibiotic-Resistant Diseases Threaten Gaza Residents
Gaza, already dealing with war, now has a new problem: germs that don't get killed by medicine.
This is because of the damage from the war.
With few medical supplies and many people hurt or not eating well, these super germs can spread fast.
The doctors and medical experts are worried because these germs mean more sick people, longer illnesses, and sadly, more deaths.
Gaza faces new threat: antibiotic-resistant diseases.
Drug-resistant bacteria spread in war-torn Gaza.
Medical supplies are crippled due to the ongoing conflict.
Tens of thousands have been injured, and many suffer from malnutrition.
Experts predict increased illness duration, disease transmission, and deaths.
