For Rabab Al Haj Youf every trip to the bathroom
to change her. Sanitary pad is a painful one
. Sometimes there's no water for a girl to wash
and change. There is no water. Israeli strikes
displaced her family from their Lebanon home. Now she
shares limited water with hundreds of people in the school
turned shelter. You have to take your underwear and
wash it. I wait for my daughter at the
bathroom door to wash in freezing water, freezing so
she can change and wear the sanitary pad. Sanitary
health is a growing concern for those living in the
more than 1100 shelters in the region. Most of
them are at capacity as 1.2 million have been displaced
by Israel's escalating campaign against Hezbollah. Rita Abu Nabhan
is with relief international. She says the biggest fear
is the lack of water. The group is providing
sanitary pads. But women question how they're going to
use them in the first place without being able to
clean themselves. Privacy is also an issue with no
baskets in the shared bathrooms. Women must bring disposable
bags with them. I'm crying because of the situation
that we have reached today. We have been humiliated
along with our Children. We have been displaced and
our homes are gone. More than 11,000 pregnant women
are among the newly displaced population in Lebanon. According
to un tallies, many of these women need access
to prenatal care, nutrition, clean water and hygiene
supplies. The World Health Organization said it had already
documented cases of measles, hepatitis A and other infectious
diseases among the displaced. It warned this week that
a resurgence may be possible as the number of displaced
people in sub optimal shelter conditions grow.
