Displaced Palestinians in Gaza are struggling to find safe, discreet and sanitary toilets as the war grinds on, with aid workers describing worsening public health conditions in overcrowded camps and shelters. The lack of functioning sanitation infrastructure has compounded broader humanitarian problems including disease risk and lack of privacy, particularly for women and children. The report highlights how the collapse of basic infrastructure in Gaza continues to affect civilians even as ceasefire and peace-plan negotiations proceed elsewhere. Aid organizations say the sanitation crisis is emblematic of the wider humanitarian toll of the conflict on the territory's displaced population.
