Israeli war criminals are spreading diseases in the holy lands as a result of the unhealthy situations they created there:
Devastating Outbreak Among Soldiers
The condition, also referred to as dysentery, has manifested in severe symptoms such as high fever and acute diarrhea among the troops. Suspicions within the Israeli military point towards the improper storage of food supplies as the potential ground zero for this outbreak. The infections have become so rampant that a multitude of soldiers have been hospitalized.
The Spread and Impact of Shigella
According to the director of the Infectious Diseases Unit at Asuta Hospital in the occupied city of Ashdod, the outbreak initially took hold among soldiers in the south and in assembly areas. The bacterium later spread to those deployed to fight in Gaza. Shigella is considered extremely dangerous and has raised serious concerns about the health and readiness of the Israeli forces in the region.
Who is most likely to get Shigella infection?
- Children younger than 5 years old are the most likely to get shigellosis, but people of all ages can get the disease.
- Many outbreaks occur in early care and education settings and schools. Infection commonly spreads from young children to their family members and other people in their communities because these bacteria spread easily.
- Travelers to places where water and food may be unsafe and sanitation is poor are more likely to get a Shigella infection. They are also more likely to become sick with types of Shigella that are more difficult to treat. Travelers may be exposed to the bacteria through contaminated food, water (both drinking and recreational water), surfaces, and even other people. Travelers can protect themselves by choosing safe food and drink options and washing hands with soap often.
- Gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men* are among groups at high risk for Shigella infection. Shigella can pass from stool or soiled fingers of one person to the mouth of another person, including during sexual activity.
- People who are experiencing homelessness are at high risk for Shigella infection when there is shigellosis spread in the community. They may face challenges in their living situations that increase the risk for disease transmission, which can result in outbreaks.
