Rising temperatures are intensifying public health concerns in the Gaza Strip, where a widespread infestation of rodents and parasites is compounding already dire living conditions for displaced civilians. Health officials warn that the rapid spread of rats, fleas, and lice could trigger a major disease outbreak in overcrowded camps lacking basic sanitation.
In areas such as Khan Yunis and the Al-Mawasi coastal strip, displaced families are living in makeshift shelters that offer little protection against pests. Residents report that large rodents, identified by some as Norway rats, are burrowing into tents at night. Muhammad al-Raqab, a displaced father, described repeated attacks on his family, saying rodents chewed through his shelter and bit his children while they slept. He now stays awake overnight to guard them.
The infestation is closely linked to the collapse of Gaza’s sanitation infrastructure. With municipal services largely nonfunctional and access to landfill sites near the eastern border restricted, millions of tons of waste have accumulated near populated areas. The buildup has created ideal conditions for vermin to thrive.
According to the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, approximately 1.7 million of Gaza’s 2.2 million residents remain displaced and unable to return to their homes despite a ceasefire that began in October 2025. Field assessments conducted in March described camp conditions as heavily affected by vermin and parasite infestations.
Medical professionals are already seeing the consequences. Hani al-Flait, head of pediatrics at Al-Aqsa Hospital in central Gaza, reported a steady rise in skin infections such as scabies. Residents also describe worsening conditions as fleas spread allergies among both children and adults, further straining limited healthcare resources in the enclave.

U.S. President Donald Trump announced a sweeping policy shift on Saturday, April 18, aimed at accelerating access to medical research and treatments involving psychedelic drugs. The executive order, signed in the Oval Office, directs the US Food and Drug Administration to expedite the review process for substances such as ibogaine, which some veteran advocacy groups say may help treat post-traumatic stress disorder.
The signing event included federal health officials, advocates, and podcaster Joe Rogan, highlighting growing public and institutional interest in alternative mental health therapies.
Focus on veterans and severe mental illness treatment
Trump said the initiative is designed to “dramatically accelerate access” to experimental therapies that have shown potential in addressing severe mental health conditions. He emphasized that these treatments could be particularly impactful for U.S. military veterans suffering from PTSD and depression.
The order instructs federal agencies to reduce administrative barriers, enhance data sharing between the FDA and the Department of Veterans Affairs, and streamline the process for rescheduling psychedelic substances once they receive regulatory approval.
Funding and expanded access under Right to Try law
As part of the initiative, the federal government will allocate $50 million to support state-level research on ibogaine. The administration is also expanding pathways for patients with critical conditions to access experimental treatments under the Right to Try law enacted during Trump’s first term.
Officials said this approach could allow certain patients to receive psychedelic-based therapies before full FDA approval, provided safety protocols are followed.
Health officials cite urgency of mental health crisis
Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr. described the executive order as a decisive step in addressing what he called one of the nation’s most pressing public health challenges. He said the policy would remove legal and regulatory barriers that have historically limited research into psychedelic treatments.
Kennedy added that the changes aim to enable scientists, clinicians, and researchers to better study these substances and, where appropriate, develop safe therapeutic protocols for their use in treating mental health conditions.

Good sleep is essential for maintaining overall health, and World Sleep Day serves as a reminder of its importance. Celebrated annually, World Sleep Day aims to raise awareness about sleep disorders and promote healthier sleep habits. This year, World Sleep Day 2026 will be observed on Friday, March 13, 2026, with various campaigns, educational events, and initiatives to help individuals improve their sleep quality and mental health.
What is World Sleep Day?
World Sleep Day is a global initiative organized by the World Sleep Societyto promote the importance of sleep and encourage individuals to adopt healthy sleep habits. The day brings together experts, clinicians, and organizations to educate the public on the impact of sleep on health and wellness. Sleep-related issues such as insomnia, sleep apnea, and circadian rhythm disordersare often highlighted during the observance.
Why is World Sleep Day Celebrated?
World Sleep Day is crucial for highlighting the growing concern about sleep disorders, which can have a significant impact on physical and mental well-being. Chronic sleep deprivation is linked to various health issues, including poor memory, high blood pressure, heart disease, and even accidents. Celebrating the day helps reduce the stigma surrounding sleep disorders and encourages individuals to seek professional help when necessary.
10 Reasons Why Sleep Is Important
Improves Memory and Learning:Sleep is essential for consolidating memories and improving learning abilities.
Strengthens Immunity:Adequate sleep boosts the immune system and helps the body fight infections.
Regulates Blood Pressure:Consistent sleep improves cardiovascular health and lowers blood pressure.
Controls Weight and Metabolism:Sleep plays a role in regulating metabolism and maintaining a healthy weight.
Enhances Mood:A good night’s rest improves mood, reducing stress and anxiety levels.
Increases Focus and Productivity:Quality sleep increases concentration and productivity during the day.
Lowers Diabetes Risk:Proper sleep can help regulate blood sugar levels and reduce the risk of diabetes.
Balances Hormones:Sleep contributes to hormone regulation, affecting appetite and growth.
Repairs Muscles:Sleep supports muscle recovery and tissue repair.
Promotes Longevity:Getting enough sleep can contribute to a longer, healthier life.
How Many Hours of Sleep Do Adults Need?
For optimal health, adults need 7 to 9 hours of sleepeach night. While older adults may need less sleep, younger individuals require more rest. Consistency in sleep schedules plays a critical role in ensuring quality sleep.
Common Sleep Disorders
Sleep disorders vary in severity and impact. The most common sleep problems include:
Insomnia: Difficulty in falling or staying asleep.
Sleep Apnea: Breathing pauses during sleep, leading to excessive daytime sleepiness.
Restless Legs Syndrome: An uncontrollable urge to move legs during sleep.
Narcolepsy: Excessive daytime sleepiness and sudden sleep attacks.
Circadian Rhythm Disorders: Disruptions in the body’s natural sleep-wake cycle, often caused by shift work or jet lag.
When Lifestyle Changes Aren’t Enough
If lifestyle changes such as establishing a regular sleep schedule, limiting caffeine, and reducing screen time before bed do not improve your sleep, it may be time to consult a healthcare provider. Persistent sleep problems like loud snoring, gaps in breathing, morning headaches, or daytime drowsiness could be signs of a more serious sleep disorder, such as sleep apnea.
Sleep Study Test (Polysomnography)
A sleep study, also known as polysomnography, is an overnight test that monitors brain activity, breathing, oxygen levels, and heart rate to diagnose sleep disorders. Sleep studies are especially useful for diagnosing complex conditions such as sleep apneaand narcolepsy. The results help doctors determine the best treatment plan, whether it’s CPAP therapy, lifestyle adjustments, or medications.
