Gaza, Palestine – The United Nations has warned that the repercussions of severe malnutrition among pregnant women and infants in the Gaza Strip could extend for generations. This indicates that the health and humanitarian conditions in the Strip have reached a critical stage, portending a long-term catastrophe.
Reports from UN agencies indicate that the lack of food, clean drinking water, and medical care has led to widespread anemia and malnutrition among mothers and newborns. This could affect their future physical and mental development.
The United Nations stressed that the continued deterioration of health conditions will leave indelible scars on future generations in Gaza. It called for urgent intervention and ensuring unhindered access for humanitarian aid to save the lives of thousands of women and children.
