“The medical teams in Gaza are fighting a fierce battle against bacteria, which no longer respond to most antibiotics,” said Izzedin Shaheen, a doctor in the besieged enclave, via X on 21 Nov.
“Hardly any person with a wound infection survives, no matter how hard the doctors try. All the conditions are bad – no sterilization and no sufficient antibiotics. We have even found E. Coli bacteria in bone tissue, which is unfamiliar in medical books.”
