We have urgent updates from the ground in Gaza:

• 1.7 million people in Gaza, including 1.34 million women and girls of reproductive age, have been displaced and are lacking basic care, medicines, food, and water.
• 10,000 pregnant women remain behind amidst devastation in Rafah.
• 690,000 women and girls are in need of period products.

UNFPA is successfully navigating limitations on aid delivery and getting lifesaving reproductive health supplies — funded by your emergency gifts — into Gaza.

In the last three months alone, we distributed lifesaving medical supplies which facilitated more than 50,000 sexual and reproductive health services, established a Mobile Maternal Health Unit in Rafah, delivered more than 667,000 period pads in Dignity Kits and other period care kits, and more.

But needs are growing by the day. There are now no hospitals remaining in Rafah, meaning UNFPA’s field hospitals and mobile health teams are a lifeline — and it’s hanging by a thread.

We are urgently raising funds to expand access to care for women and girls in Gaza. Support is desperately needed to stockpile more medicines and scale up the deployment of maternal health supplies, period products, and skilled health staff, like midwives, into Gaza.

Will you make an emergency gift to deliver lifesaving care to women and girls in Gaza and wherever your help is needed most?

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

Thank you for being there for women and girls.
