Gaza Women Face Hardship
The LIFE Foundation for Relief and Development said women in Gaza face repeated displacement, hunger, and shortages of water and health care. It noted that United Nations reports have recorded the deaths of more than 38,000 women and girls and injuries to over 172,000 since October 2023, including around 11,700 who sustained severe injuries resulting in permanent disabilities. Around 86,290 households are now headed by women. The foundation said it had established nine camps that sheltered 62,000 families and provided food, water, shelter, hygiene supplies, and health and education services. About 790,000 women and girls face acute food insecurity, while around 700,000 lack menstrual supplies and adequate sanitation facilities. More than 3,950 miscarriages have been recorded this year, and cesarean deliveries account for 49.2% of births. The foundation added that it supports pregnant and breastfeeding women with food, medicine, and infant supplies, while women with disabilities and older women face growing hardship because of limited access to aid and services.
