Pregnancy and childbirth conditions in Gaza “worse than hell”. World Health Organization estimates the number of pregnant women in the Gaza Strip at about 52,000 women.
Fears are not limited to the birth itself, but extend to several challenges, such as keeping children alive in light of the deprivation of basic materials such as water and food. The danger is limited to women who are close to giving birth, but all pregnant women are at risk due to food shortages during wartime.
