RAMALLAH: ActionAid has expressed its profound concerns over the threats facing pregnant Palestinian women in the Gaza Stirp facing a risk of forcible displacement under threat of Israeli bombardment.
Riham Jafari, Coordinator of Advocacy and Communication for ActionAid Palestine said: “As thousands of Gazans flee in fear of their lives – abandoning their homes and communities, it is deeply concerning to witness the threats to target hospitals and critical infrastructure, an egregious violation of international law and a blatant disregard for human lives.”
“We are particularly concerned about the devastating impact on the 50,000 pregnant women in Gaza right now and newborn babies, who are all left without essential medical care and the safety they deserve as they make the impossible choice of fleeing with no guarantee of safety or remaining at risk of almost certain death,” she added.
ActionAid called for the immediate reversal of the evacuation order and the guarantee of the full protection and safety
of civilians.
