Since Israel's war on Gaza began, displaced Palestinians like the Abu Amr family face a public health crisis while living in makeshift tent encampments. Displaced multiple times, the Abu Amr family now resides near a sprawling rubbish dump in Gaza City. The lack of proper sanitation, waste disposal, and clean water has led to outbreaks of disease, including gastroenteritis and asthma. Basic hygiene is nearly impossible, with shared toilets and limited resources for cleaning. The war has destroyed infrastructure, forcing people into desperate living conditions where they struggle daily against pollution, illness, and indignity.
