Expectant mothers and babies in Gaza MAY Die:
Dozens of babies are born in Gaza every day, some birthdays are imminent. According to UNFPA - That is equal to 166 births per day, taking place with inadequate access to healthcare or even clean water, the agency said."UNFPA is prepositioning supplies to be ready to deliver if siege conditions are lifted. We have provided medicines essential for safe delivery to the health authorities in Gaza and we are providing dignity kits to UNRWA shelters."
One agency staff member based inside Gaza and continuing to provide services, spoke for many UN workers caught up in the violence along with hundreds of thousands of civilians, noting that "my only goal is to breathe. To stay alive."
Without hospital facilities, incubators, clean water, hygiene and medical care, expectant mothers and new born Palestinian babies MAY die.
