Rise in caesarean section births in Gaza brings danger and infection risks

A 24-year-old Palestinian woman, Duha Abu Yousef, gave birth to her first child via emergency caesarean section due to severe anemia caused by famine and food shortages in Gaza. Throughout her pregnancy, she endured physical and psychological pain, including the loss of her brother and his wife, and was unable to access nutritional supplements or move freely. The caesarean section was performed at a hospital in Gaza City.
