What the reports sayEach newsroom’s own summary of its report, from its feed

Poor living conditions and severe overcrowding are driving up infections as Gaza's population is squeezed into an ever-smaller area, WHO said.
Respiratory infections currently make up 11% of all consultations, with the WHO ‌expecting cold weather, flooding, overcrowded shelters and poor ventilation to push these numbers higher
