☆ Middle East Crisis Netanyahu Under Pressure to Address Cease-Fire Calls in His Speech to Congress

Children walking near stagnant wastewater on their way to a food distribution point in Deir al Balah, in central Gaza, last week. The large number of people treated for war injuries — almost 90,000, Gaza’s health ministry says — and the surge in illness have overwhelmed Gaza’s diminished medical system. The Israeli military has launched two operations at Gaza’s largest hospital, Al-Shifa, fighting deadly battles with militants there. Before the war, Gaza’s health care system was “reasonably well functional,” said Dr. Rik Peeperkorn, the W.H.O.’s representative to Gaza and the West Bank. Now, fewer than half of its facilities remain even partly operational, he said, and its health care work force is severely depleted.

☆ Fungal infection list launched by WHO flags global health threat

LONDON, Oct 25 (Reuters) - The World Health Organization has drawn up the first ever list of fungal pathogens posing the greatest threat to human health, warning that some strains are increasingly drug-resistant and becoming more widespread. The U.N. body, which has similar lists for viruses and bacteria, said fungal infections and their increasing resistance to treatment were a growing risk. Fungal infections often strike people who are already severely ill, like cancer or tuberculosis patients, and rates jumped among hospitalized COVID-19 patients during the pandemic. The list divides the pathogens into three categories based on their potential impact and data on their resistance risk: critical, high and medium priority. The medium group lists a number of other fungi, including Coccidioides spp and Cryptococcus gattii.
