2 Communicable Disease Surveillance during Gaza War, 214.
3 Introduction Public Health Surveillance is an ongoing and systematic process of data collection, analysis and interpretation, it`s essential to the planning, implementation and evaluation of public health practice, closely integrated with the timely dissemination of these data to health officials. It consider as information for action. 43 communicable diseases are divided into three groups A, B and C according to its` epidemiological importance.
4 Communicable Disease is the major killers in complex emergencies. Death rates among refugees and displaced persons over 6 times the baseline rates have been recorded, with over three quarters of these deaths being due to communicable diseases.
5 On 8 July, Israeli military operation fights on Gaza Strip, in 51 days of attack more than 2.13 Palestinians have been killed, more than people were injured and thousands of building completely or partially demolished. OCHA reported that about 485. populations had been displaced into UNRWA emergency shelters, government shelters and some of them displaced their families and friends. Populations affected by this war have experienced severe public health consequences:- -overcrowdings -inadequate shelters -poor sanitation -food scarcity -unsafe water -collapse of basic health services. These circumstances can increase the likelihood of communicable diseases transmission.
6 The goal To identify the impact of the communicable diseases surveillance on the mortality and morbidity of the communicable diseases in populations affected by the war.
7 Methodology MOH implemented the surveillance to monitor 14 communicable diseases -(Diarrheal diseases, Typhoid fever, Mumps, Scabies, Impetigo, Acute Respiratory Infection, AFP suspected cases, Aseptic Meningitis, Meningococcal disease, Other Bacterial Meningitis, Food poisoning, Measles, Infectious hepatitis and Cholera). 12 weeks of monitoring from 12 August to 31 October at daily basis. The data is being collected from the working health facilities Governmental, Nongovernmental and UNRWA and the shelters.
8 Diarrheal diseases Diarrhea is a common problem that generally lasts for few days. In Gaza strip, acute diarrhea is one of the most common childhood illnesses and the main cause of outpatient visits and hospitalizations. 3 The high incidence of diarrheal disease in some governorates often linked to contaminated food, poor water quantity and quality and bad sanitation and hygiene. The most effective control measures to prevent diarrhea are maximizing access to sanitation, safe water, safe food supplies, and improving personal hygiene practices. According to surveillance system classification, diarrhea is classified into diarrhea less than 3 years, diarrhea more than 3 years and bloody diarrhea.

10 Respiratory Tract Infection Acute respiratory infections (ARI) are the leading causes of illness in developing countries, particularly among children less than five years. About four million children die every year from pneumonia, most of them less than 2 months of age. Influenza is a viral infection mainly caused by influenza group A viruses which is endemic in Palestine. URTI is the commonest acute problem dealt within primary care settings caused by viruses or bacteria. It ranges from mild self-limited to life-threatening illnesses.

12 Measles Measles is an acute infection of the measles virus, Morbillivirus of the family Paramyxoviridae. The disease is spread through close respiratory contact with contagious air droplets. Normal case fatality rates of measles range between 3-5%. However, among displaced populations, the case fatality rate ranges between 1-3%, but can be as high as 5%. Despite efforts of the global EPI, measles is still endemic in many developing countries, especially where conflict prevents routine immunization.
13 Measles w1 w2 w3 w4 w5 w6 w7 w8 w9 w1 w11 w12 No Measles cases reported
14 Acute Flaccid Paralysis Acute onset of a flaccid paralysis of one or more groups of muscles with decreased or absent tendon reflexes in the affected muscles, without other apparent cause, and without sensory or cognitive loss. All diagnosed cases must be investigated to exclude Poliomyelitis as one of WHO requirements for Poliomyelitis eradication goal.
15 AFP cases w1 w2 w3 w4 w5 w6 w7 w8 w9 w1 w11 w12 No AFP cases reported
16 Cholera Suspected case: acute watery diarrhea and/or vomiting with or without dehydration. Confirmed case: isolation of Vibrio Cholera from stools or vomitus in any patient with diarrhea.

20 Meningococcal Disease Meningococcal disease Neisseria meningitides, H. Influenza B or clinical. It manifests most commonly as meningitis and/or meningococcemia that may progress rapidly to purpura fulminant, shock, and death. Other manifestations could be fever, headache, vomiting, neck stiffness, consciousness, convulsion, petechial rash and bulging fontanel in small babies and infants. Transmission: droplet spread by direct or indirect contact with cases Incubation period: 2 to 4 days

36 Conclusion No outbreak occurred during the war. Communicable diseases are common in displaced populations that have poor access to basic needs. No mortalities occurred. Surveillance in the affected areas is fundamental to understand the impact of the war on the communicable disease morbidity and mortality. Obtaining relevant surveillance information in these situations is frequently challenging.
37 Recommendation Disease surveillance and early warning system. Rapid detection of cases of epidemic-prone diseases is essential to ensure rapid control. Primary health-care services access to primary care is critical to prevention, early diagnosis and treatment of a wide range of diseases. Availability of safe water and sanitation. Site planning with adequate shelters spacing. Immunization. Health education nutrition, personal hygiene.
