世卫组织：加沙急性呼吸道感染病例同比多出3.3万例，近100万流离失所者身处洪水易发区
世界卫生组织11月13日在日内瓦举行的记者会上表示，加沙地带的呼吸道疾病正在上升，急性呼吸道感染病例比去年同期多出3.3万例，呼吸道感染目前占加沙全部就诊量的11%。
世卫组织官员赖因希尔德·范德韦尔特（Reinhilde Van De Weerdt）在耶路撒冷通过视频连线发言时说：「最糟糕的情况其实还在后面。」
她说，加沙有近100万流离失所者身处易遭洪水的地区，其中40万人面临极高风险。加沙近日的暴雨已经淹没了数以万计的帐篷。
她指出，自10月美国斡旋的停火生效以来，以色列军方推进了所谓「黄线」，加沙人的活动空间进一步缩小，过度拥挤随之加剧，导致包括呼吸道感染在内的多种疾病增加。
她说，世卫组织在进口实验室用品方面遇到困难，并呼吁允许实验室设备「今天」就进入加沙，为冬季做好准备。
以色列国防军辖下的领土内政府活动协调局（COGAT）上周表示，已在降雨到来前加强了卫生工作。以色列军方和 COGAT 未立即回应路透社就世卫组织表态的置评请求。

WHO: Gaza Respiratory Infections Up 33,000 Cases Year on Year, Nearly 1 Million Displaced People in Flood-Prone Areas
The World Health Organization said at a briefing in Geneva on November 13 that respiratory illnesses are rising in Gaza, with acute respiratory infections running 33,000 cases higher than at the same time last year and now accounting for 11 percent of all consultations in the enclave.
"The worst really is yet to come," said Dr Reinhilde Van De Weerdt, a WHO official speaking by video link from Jerusalem.
She said nearly 1 million displaced people in Gaza are in areas exposed to flooding, 400,000 of them at extremely high risk. Heavy rains in recent days have flooded tens of thousands of tents.
She said overcrowding had worsened since the Israeli military advanced the so-called "yellow line" established under October's US-brokered ceasefire, leaving Gazans with less space and driving up rates of illnesses including respiratory infections.
She said the WHO was having difficulty importing laboratory supplies and called for laboratory equipment to be allowed in "today", ahead of winter.
COGAT, the Israeli military unit that coordinates civilian affairs in the Palestinian territories, said last week it had stepped up sanitation efforts before the rain arrived. The Israeli military and COGAT did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment on the WHO remarks.
