“Absolute catastrophe” at only functioning maternity hospital in Gaza city

Hospitals in the north of Gaza are barely functioning, with medical supplies and fuel running out.

Women are forced to undergo C- sections with only partial anaesthesia.

UNFPA—the United Nations sexual and reproductive health agency—just delivered critical medical supplies to Al Sahaba Hospital, the only functioning maternity hospital in Gaza City.

Hear from UNFPA Representative Dominic Allen about the desperate need he witnessed during a high-risk mission and stay up to date on our ongoing humanitarian response here.
