International health authorities are being urged to help protect civilians in Gaza from diseases and provide humanitarian aid. Prof. Nadav Davidovitch, an Israeli epidemiologist, believes that various organizations, including the WHO, should get involved in ensuring the health and well-being of the people in Gaza. He emphasizes the need for vaccinations, especially for children, as well as addressing issues such as sewage, water supply, and the risk of diseases like rabies. The WHO director-general also expressed concern for the health and well-being of the people in Gaza, highlighting the collapsing health system and the increasing health needs of the population.
