A representative for the UN Population Fund Palestine Dominic Allen has said that conditions at the facility’s maternity ward were deeply disturbing, with a stark rise in malnourished newborns and stillborn deaths.
“The doctors are reporting that they no longer see normal-sized babies,” Allen told Al Jazeera after he recently visited the Emirati hospital in Rafah.
“What they do see though tragically is more stillborn babies and more neonatal deaths,” he added.
