Women at a Gaza displacement camp avoid communal toilets, with health costs
Sanitary conditions at al-Deira are driving avoidance, Electronic Intifada reports.
Women at the al-Deira displacement camp in Gaza are avoiding the communal bathrooms because of their condition, with consequences for their health, Electronic Intifada reported.
Deliberately withholding fluids and delaying use of a toilet leads to urinary infections and kidney complications, effects that accumulate over weeks rather than appearing at once.
The camp's sanitation facilities are shared between large numbers of families.
