One toilet per 4,130 people in Gaza’s al-Mawasi

Oxfam has warned that there is roughly one toilet per 4,130 people in Gaza’s al-Mawasi evacuation zone and that unhygienic conditions were threatening a health crisis.

“This area was designated a humanitarian zone, but there is nothing humanitarian about the situation here,” said Meera, an Oxfam staffer in al-Mawasi.

“The conditions are unbearable, there is no access to clean water, people are forced to rely on the sea.”
