Women in Gaza are facing dire conditions as they struggle to access critical medical care and basic necessities due to supply shortages and a collapsed healthcare system. Reports highlight instances of women giving birth in tents, toilets, and undergoing cesarean sections without anesthesia. Only 12 hospitals in Gaza are partly operational, with just 2 providing maternity services, where around 180 women give birth daily. The UNRWA continues to offer medical care for post-natal and high-risk pregnancies in health centers and shelters.

Here's an article I wrote for @gulf_news @GNOpinion about the burden that women in Gaza bear. Innocent people shouldn't have to be caught in the crosshairs of military conflict and be deprived of basic necessities such as food, water, shelter, health care and safety. https://t.co/En3L6CKicD
