A Gaza obstetrician said pregnant women in the territory face multiplied dangers from repeated displacement, destroyed homes, and collapsed healthcare services, Shehab Wire reported. Iyad Abu Hasira, head of obstetrics and gynecology at Al-Halo Hospital, described the compounding difficulties women encounter during pregnancy amid the conflict. He cited repeated forced displacement and the destruction of residential areas as primary factors worsening maternal health outcomes.
The physician did not specify particular medical complications or provide figures on miscarriage rates and pregnancy-related deaths in Gaza. His remarks underscore the strain on women's health services as the territory's medical infrastructure continues to deteriorate under wartime conditions.
