The humanitarian crisis in Gaza is reaching unprecedented levels. An estimated 50,000 pregnant women are at severe risk as hospitals are destroyed and humanitarian aid is blocked.

The United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) is working to support these women through mobile maternity units, but resources are depleting rapidly due to aid disruptions. The need for international support has never been greater. See the full Euronews story here: https://unf.pa/uoi #CeasefireNOW
