"Desperate Struggle: Scarcity of Baby Supplies and Birth Challenges in Gaza"
TL;DR Summary
The ongoing conflict between Israel and Gaza's Hamas rulers has led to a humanitarian crisis in the besieged Gaza Strip, with severe shortages of baby formula and diapers. Parents are resorting to feeding their infants solid foods that may be harmful, while others are using inadequate or unsafe alternatives due to unaffordable prices and scarcity. The lack of basic necessities, compounded by restricted aid deliveries and dire living conditions, has left displaced Palestinians, especially children, vulnerable to illness and malnutrition, with the UN warning of an imminent risk of famine.
