To honor International Women's Day, the UN Palestinian Refugee Agency (UNRWA) took to social media platform X to raise the alarm on the suffering of Palestinian women.

"On International Women's Day, the women in Gaza continue to endure the consequences of this brutal war", it wrote.

It added, "At least 9,000 women have been killed, many more are under the rubble. On average, 63 women are killed in Gaza per day - 37 are mothers who leave their families behind."

Just yesterday, the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics confirmed that "Israel" killed 9,000 Palestinian women since the beginning of the Israeli genocidal war on the Palestinian people of the Gaza Strip.

The report, which reviewed the conditions of Palestinian women on the eve of International Women's Day, indicated that 75% of the total number of 72,156 injuries were women, while women and children also constituted 70% of the 7,000 cases of missing persons.

Reports from Gaza further indicate that approximately two million people were forced to evacuate their homes, with half of them being women.

According to the report, Palestinian women also make up 49% of the total population across all of occupied Palestine, with a count of 2.76 million women as of mid-2024 (1.63 million in the West Bank and 1.13 million in Gaza).

The health situation in Gaza reveals significant challenges for pregnant women, with approximately 60,000 expectant mothers in the Strip experiencing around 180 births daily. Approximately 15% of these women are at risk of complications that are difficult to address due to a lack of medical care. The incidence of premature births has risen by about one-third, attributed to factors like stress and trauma, resulting in a 300% increase in miscarriages.

According to a UN Women study issued in January, the Israeli occupation is killing two mothers every hour in Gaza since it began its aggression on October 7.
