Gaza: Women face growing challenges amid war and displacement
Friday, January 3, 2025 11:20 AM

In Gaza, women displaced by the ongoing conflict face severe challenges due to a lack of privacy in overcrowded shelters, complicating efforts to dress modestly and maintain personal dignity. The situation is worsened by limited access to sanitary products and essential healthcare, leaving many unable to address basic needs. These conditions not only jeopardize women's physical health but also heighten emotional distress in an already dire humanitarian crisis.
