Women and newborns bearing the brunt of the conflict in Gaza, UN agencies warn
www.who.int
Women, children and newborns in Gaza are disproportionately bearing the burden of the escalation of hostilities in the occupied Palestinian territory, both as casualties and in reduced access to health services.

As of 3 November, according to Ministry of Health data, 2326 women and 3760 children have been killed in the Gaza strip, representing 67% of all casualties, while thousands more have been injured. This means that 420 children are killed or injured every day, some of them only a few months old.

    Doesn’t matter. The western world will keep relativising the deaths of these children. They will keep looking for excuses as to why it’s okay to murder this kids. It’s a “necessary evil”. If you’re from a non western country, maybe you should try and think about how this could be you. And one half of the world would simply excuse the murder of your family.

      The United States is the biggest diplomatic loser in this war.

      Gave Israel eveything it wanted but Israel ignores all it’s behind the scenes requests for a ceasefire.

      It’s reputation in the Middle East is so trashed that close Arab allies can’t even be seen in public with their envoys.

      Western diplomats have said that they have lost the global south. No one believes their claims about human rights and a rules based international order.

      A complete destruction of United States influence in the middle east and heavy damage in developing countries.
