Gaza Birth Defects Surge
Nasser Medical Complex recorded around 260 cases of congenital anomalies among babies born in Gaza during part of this year, amid warnings that the number is rising compared with previous years. Medical sources and families attribute the increase to the effects of the war, including malnutrition, psychological stress and displacement, as well as exposure to toxic substances and the deterioration of sanitary conditions. More than 16,000 births were also recorded in the third quarter, along with hundreds of miscarriages. Reports have warned of long-term consequences for the health of children and pregnant women, calling for an end to the aggression and the opening of crossings to allow medical and food aid into Gaza.
