Conflict Zones Face Rising Infectious Disease Risks

Health authorities and aid agencies are warning that wars in Gaza, Sudan and Ukraine are creating dangerous conditions for infectious disease outbreaks. Displaced populations, destroyed hospitals, disrupted water and sanitation, and collapsed vaccination programmes leave millions exposed, while disease surveillance systems in these areas are too damaged to detect and contain epidemics early.
Why now: Renewed fighting and humanitarian collapse in Gaza and Sudan have intensified concern that epidemics could follow the violence.
