Action Aid International organization: Gaza women give birth to stillborn babies due to the Israeli war of starvation

Occupied Al-Quds –(ST) – ActionAid International confirmed that women in the Gaza Strip are giving birth to stillborn babies, as a result of the catastrophic starvation crisis caused by the Israeli occupation forces, and occupation’s preventing the entry and distribution of humanitarian aid, especially in Gaza City and its north.

Wafa News Agency quoted the organization as saying in a statement on Thursday : The sharp increase in malnutrition has led to an increase in deaths among children and cases of stillborn babies, as many cases have been recorded in hospitals of children who died as a result of malnutrition, and more than 95 percent of the women who arrive at the hospital undergo the necessary medical examinations because they suffer from anemia.

The organization warned of the complete collapse of humanitarian operations in Gaza Strip, especially that a quarter of the Strip’s population is one step away from famine, and faces severe levels of food insecurity, noting that one in every six children under the age of two in the north suffers from acute malnutrition.
