Return Center Reports on Reproductive Violence in Gaza
The report focused on the destruction of maternity services in Gaza due to war and bombing, which has led to a decline in the health of pregnant women and newborns. It summarizes the impacts of reproductive violence, including rising rates of malnutrition, premature births, low birth weights, and increased risks to the lives of mothers and children. The report also highlights the targeting of healthcare infrastructure and the deprivation of populations from food and medicine, which hampers safe pregnancy and childbirth and results in long-term psychological and biological effects. Such actions are considered a legal violation under international humanitarian law and criminal law. The report recommends the urgent need to protect healthcare facilities, ensure access to humanitarian aid, restore maternity care services, hold perpetrators accountable for violations, and support mental and reproductive health in Gaza.
