The situation in Gaza is getting significantly worse. Dominic Allen, UNFPA representative to Palestine, recently visited a hospital in Rafah. What he saw was an undeniable catastrophe.

“When I spoke to a midwife, she told me that in the birthing suite, which only has five rooms, they’re moving around with the mothers rotating and having to give births on floors,” Allen reported.
They’re still delivering 60 to 70 births every single day, nearly 10 to 12 C-sections every single day.
The medical director of the hospital told him that staff have been leaving because of fear about what will happen in Rafah.
“They need help. These pregnant women here need help. Gaza needs help.”
There are major concerns about supplies. They don’t have enough of the most basic supplies, like gauze, sutures. That’s where UNFPA is supporting to make a difference.
Your donations are delivering supplies to ensure safe deliveries amidst a health care system that’s totally collapsed. Emergency Birth Kits, Mama Kits, and essential hygiene supplies, including soap and sanitary pads.
Already, gifts from donors have delivered enough lifesaving medicines and equipment to support more than half of the births — 21,000 — in Gaza since October.
But around 155,000 pregnant women and new mothers are struggling to survive, and they desperately need your help.
Will you make an emergency gift to deliver lifesaving care to pregnant women, new mothers, and those suffering in Gaza and around the world? [[link removed]]

The suffering must end. We condemn the violence in Gaza, the West Bank, and Israel, including all sexual violence, and echo the UN Secretary-General’s call for a sustained humanitarian ceasefire and the immediate and unconditional release of all hostages by Hamas.
Thank you for being there.
