The UN agency for Palestinian refugees, Unrwa, has reported "appalling" conditions faced by Palestinian women in Gaza, with over 10,000 killed and 19,000 wounded since 7 October.
According to the agency, most of these women have children, which means an average of 37 children a day are losing their mothers.
Additionally, Unrwa said that over 155,000 pregnant or breastfeeding women are facing "severely limited access" to water and sanitary items.
