UNFPA representative describes Gaza as a "humanitarian hellscape" with broken medical supplies and dire maternity care conditions. Multiple hospitals in Gaza are overwhelmed, with a significant increase in complications during childbirth. The situation is compounded by malnutrition, dehydration, and fear. The UNFPA mission, supported by UNMAS, also highlights the transformation of UNRWA schools into emergency medical points due to limited access to pre- and post-natal healthcare.
