UN agency: Women in Gaza face life-threatening risks

NEW YORK, April 5, 2025 (WAFA) – The United Nations Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women (UN Women) has warned that women in Gaza are facing a serious threat to their lives, health, and dignity, as the exhausted population continues to endure war and devastation without any respite.

The agency, in a report presented today, shared the results of its dialogue with several women in Gaza, highlighting the particular danger to pregnant women. Half of them are experiencing "high-risk pregnancies," and malnutrition is widespread among women and children.

UN Women noted that since March 18, the continued and intensified Israeli attacks on Gaza have resulted in the killing of hundreds of civilians, including women and children. Additionally, more than 142,000 people have been forced to flee their homes once again, with no safe place to take refuge.
