"Childbirth Amid Conflict: The Harrowing Reality in Gaza"

TL;DR Summary
UNICEF representative Tess Ingram describes the dire situation in Gaza, where hospitals are overcrowded and medical care is severely limited, leaving pregnant women and newborns at risk. With only a third of hospitals functioning, women are discharged within hours of giving birth, often returning to makeshift shelters without basic necessities. The recent suspension of funding to UNRWA further exacerbates the humanitarian crisis, raising concerns about the ability to meet the needs of children in Gaza.
