The World Health Organization warned that the risk of disease is growing in Gaza as health facilities, water and sanitation systems have become disrupted.
The WHO says 1.5 million people have been displaced in Gaza, many of whom are living in"severely overcrowded" shelters. The WHO says there has been a significant increase in cases of diarrhea, especially among children. Reports of lice, scabies, chicken pox and upper respiratory infections have also spiked in recent weeks, the organization said.
"When we talk about a cease-fire, when you use that term — when that term is implied, a general cease-fire — it connotes a cessation of hostilities for an indefinite period with the purpose of finding an end to the conflict," said National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby.
