In a statement yesterday, UN experts condemned the unacceptable violence against women and children in Gaza since the beginning of the war, and the seven special rapporteurs declared, “We are shocked that women have been subjected to such brutal, indiscriminate and disproportionate attacks by Israel, which does not spare its efforts to destroy their lives and deprives them of their basic human rights.” ».
United Nations experts confirm that the massive destruction of homes in Gaza and the unstable living conditions in tents have a disproportionate impact on women and girls, especially on their security and private lives.
The experts said: “Pregnant and breastfeeding women are still receiving horrific treatment, with direct bombing of hospitals and deliberate denial of access to health care facilities by Israeli snipers, in addition to the lack of beds and medical resources,” stressing that about 50,000 pregnant Palestinian women and 20,000 infants face “irreversible risks.” Imagine it.”
The experts added that “more than 183 women give birth every day with excruciating pain, while hundreds of infants have died due to the lack of electricity to operate incubators.”
