Thirty-nine Palestinians killed in today’s airstrikes on Gaza
Hospital sources in Gaza confirmed that since dawn today Israeli air raids across various parts of the strip have resulted in at least 39 deaths. Among those killed were nineteen individuals targeted while waiting for humanitarian aid distribution points.
A source at Al-Ma’moudani Hospital reported that a recent airstrike by Israeli forces on a house in Al-Zaytoun neighborhood-southeast Gaza city-killed twelve Palestinians.
Dr. Munir Al-Barashhieh, Director General of Palestine’s Ministry of Health in Gaza Strip, warned about an acute health and nutrition crisis among pregnant women there. He stated that over 55,000 pregnant women face daily life-threatening risks.
According to Dr. Al-Barashhieh almost all suffer severe shortages of essential nutritional supplements such as iron, calcium and folic acid alongside lack of balanced diets.
This situation has led to widespread severe anemia weakening expectant mothers’ bodies and exposing them to perilous bleeding during childbirth.
He added folic acid deficiency exposes fetuses to serious congenital abnormalities especially affecting their nervous systems.
He further warned that newborns born into wombs deprived of proper nutrition endure hunger stress and inadequate care after birth.
He also emphasized how ongoing warfare has not only devastated hospitals but scattered pregnant women into shelters camps or homes without sanitary conditions nationwide throughout Gaza Strip.
