The ongoing aid blockade on Gaza presents yet another challenge in delivering lifesaving healthcare to the women and girls who desperately need support. 

Supplies are running dry, hospitals are caught in the crossfire, and food and medicine are hard to access. The suffering is never-ending, and UNFPA is working on the ground to offer support wherever possible. But with recent funding cuts, we’re counting on the generosity of donors like you.  

Laila Baker, Regional Director for the Arab States at UNFPA, shared, "This blockade is not only denying pregnant women and newborns essential medical care but also stripping them of their fundamental right to life.”

What’s more, recent attacks impacting maternity clinics, in-vitro fertility clinics, and healthcare centers are hurting expecting mothers and hopeful parents. 

Ms. Baker emphasized, “Women’s lives, and the lives of their babies hang in the balance. All women have the right to access healthcare when they give birth — to deny this is to deny them their humanity.”

Your sustained support can help save lives and support women and girls in Gaza and beyond. With recent federal funding cuts, your contributions have never been more important.

While women and girls in Gaza are going hungry and evacuating their homes, UNFPA is doing all it can to support the region. Your generosity goes a long way in delivering lifesaving care — can you make a monthly recurring donation today to be there for women and girls?

We condemn the violence in Gaza, the West Bank, Lebanon, and Israel, and hope for a sustained humanitarian ceasefire, the immediate and unconditional release of all hostages by Hamas, and an end to the violence. The suffering must end and peace must prevail. 

Thank you for being there for women and girls.
