The Gaza Ministry of Health said on Friday that about 6,000 pregnant women in the Strip suffer from malnutrition, dehydration, and a lack of proper health care.

According to the Ministry, in a press statement on the occasion of International Women’s Day, which falls on March 8 of each year, about 5,000 pregnant women in the Gaza Strip give birth every month in harsh, unsafe, and unhealthy conditions as a result of bombing and displacement.

It pointed out that the Israeli army killed about 9,000 women, including thousands of mothers, pregnant women, and health personnel.

It pointed out that women constitute 49% of the population of the Gaza Strip, most of whom are of childbearing age, which exacerbates their health and psychological conditions as a result of the Israeli aggression.

The ministry said: ️Palestinian women, especially in the Gaza Strip, are exposed to the worst humanitarian catastrophe of killing, displacement, arrest, abortion, epidemics, and death from starvation as a result of the Israeli aggression.

It considered that the silence of the international community contributed to the genocide that Palestinian women, their children, and their families are subjected to daily at the hands of the Israeli forces supported by the United States and Europe.

It called on the United Nations to work to immediately stop the Israeli aggression and genocide against Palestinian women and their families.
