Gaza Seeks Defect Inquiry
Gaza’s Ministry of Health reported 260 cases of congenital abnormalities through the end of September, exceeding the 2022 total of 184. The total number of cases recorded in 2025 reached about 322, an increase of 75%. The ministry attributed the worsening trend to possible factors including maternal malnutrition, exposure to environmental pollutants, and interruptions in medical care during pregnancy. It called for an independent international scientific committee to investigate the causes. The reported abnormalities included cleft lip and palate, ambiguous external genitalia, shortened upper limbs, and umbilical hernia.
