加沙地区正经历一场严重的水痘疫情。1联合国在7月上旬两周内录得超过9300例新增感染病例，疫情主要集中在加沙南部的汗尤尼斯周边帐篷区。1患者以儿童为主，其中包括年仅19个月大的患儿Retaj和25天大的新生儿Tala。1Retaj皮肤上出现硬币大小的皮疹并结痂，而Tala在医院住院6天后未能治愈。1
恶劣的卫生条件、拥挤的生活环境和疫苗短缺是疫情扩散的主要原因。1汗尤尼斯地区Nasser医院儿科主任Dr Ahmed Al-Farra表示，在未经治疗的情况下，水痘的死亡率可能达到25%-30%。1丹麦难民委员会已在汗尤尼斯五个地点启动应急计划以应对疫情。1据COGAT声明，当地供水量每天超过70000立方米，该机构表示在收到疫苗请求后将批准其进入该地区。1
A severe chickenpox epidemic has swept through Gaza, with thousands of children infected amid dire humanitarian conditions.1 The United Nations recorded more than 9,300 new cases over a two-week period in early July, with infections concentrated in tent settlements around Khan Younis in southern Gaza.1 Overcrowded living spaces, inadequate sanitation, and vaccine shortages have accelerated the virus's spread, creating a critical health crisis for the enclave's most vulnerable population.
The outbreak has produced cases of critical severity among infants and young children. A 19-month-old girl named Retaj developed coin-sized rashes that crusted over her skin, while Tala, a 25-day-old newborn, contracted the virus and required six days of hospitalization without successful treatment.1 Dr. Ahmed Al-Farra, head of pediatrics at Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, warned that without intervention, the mortality rate could reach 25 to 30 percent.1
Response efforts remain limited amid the ongoing crisis. The Danish Refugee Council has activated emergency response protocols at five locations in Khan Younis.1 COGAT stated that water supply exceeds 70,000 cubic meters daily and indicated approval of vaccine deliveries once requests are received.1
