Gaza hospitals face rise in preterm births
The Gaza Strip is experiencing a severe health crisis due to the destruction and damage of hospitals caused by ongoing war and Israeli occupation measures. This has led to a critical shortage of medical equipment, especially incubators and oxygen supplies. The incidence of preterm births has risen noticeably, with approximately 70% of births being premature or of insufficient weight, further endangering the lives of these vulnerable infants. Hospitals are unable to accommodate the large number of newborns, and transfers are no longer possible due to overcrowded facilities and resource shortages. This is compounded by a severe lack of food and medicines, increasing the risk of disease outbreaks and putting the lives of the most fragile children at grave risk.
