About 50,000 pregnant women in displacement camps in southern Rafah city suffer from a lack of food and medicine, threatening their unborn babies along with their own health, Al Jazeera reports.

Dr Haider Abu Sunima, medical director of Tal Al-Sultan Hospital for Women and Obstetrics in Rafah, says there’s an increased number of miscarriages because of the difficult conditions amid the onslaught.

In the past few days, Gaza’s health ministry said it recorded hundreds of miscarriages and premature births as a result of “panic and forced flight under brutal bombardment in Gaza”.
