Lice, scabies, rashes plague Palestinian children as skin disease runs rampant in Gaza 's tent camps.
Doctors are wrestling with more than 103,000 cases of lice and scabies and 65,000 skin rashes.
The cause, they say, is the appalling conditions in overcrowded tent camps housing hundreds of thousands of Palestinians .
More than 1.8 million of Gaza ’s 2.3 million people have been driven from their homes.
Scabies and lice are at epidemic proportions, hospital says.
Scratched rashes get infected in the pervasive dirt.
Children are the most affected, but adults suffer as well.
Parents struggle to comfort children with painful conditions that won’t go away.
“The filth is huge. It gets in the toilet or the garbage, and it gets in her hands”.
