News 📅 11 November 2026 📍 Palestine

On 11 November, Bashar Murad, director of health programs for the Palestinian Red Crescent Society in Gaza, warned that storm flooding and shortages were worsening health risks. WAFA and Sada News reported his estimate that about 70,000 tents had flooded during the recent storm, and his warning that rainwater mixed with sewage in displacement camps could spread disease. Murad cited increased upper-respiratory infections and meningitis cases, shortages of medicines and laboratory supplies, no MRI machines and few CT scanners. These figures and clinical observations are attributed to Murad; Sada News reported the same interview carried by Voice of Palestine.
