In addition to the more than 11,000 killed, the survivors of the Israeli bombardment of Palestine have been displaced, widowed and face starvation. For them there is no safe place in Gaza. Thousands are wounded or missing. Others are arrested, humiliated and humiliated.
This has been denounced in the latest reports of the United Nations (UN). According to the report, during 386 days of Israel’s bloody aggression against the Gaza Strip, at least 11,000 women were killed out of a total death toll of nearly 43,000.
Thousands of women are also injured or missing, while half of the nearly two million people who have been displaced from their homes are women.
The document reported cases of arrests and enforced disappearances, deteriorating living and health conditions, displacement and lack of access to housing, as well as food and water shortages. There is no safe place for women in Gaza because of the occupation’s continued bombardment, which has resulted in the total destruction of more than 25,000 buildings and some 150,000 homes, while 200,000 houses have been partially damaged and another 80,000 have been rendered uninhabitable, the document said.
This destruction has forced women and girls to seek refuge in overcrowded places such as schools and hospitals, limiting their privacy and increasing the possibility of violence.
They also face difficulties in accessing health care services and basic needs, which affects their dignity and their physical and psychological health, and increases stress, which affects their overall quality of life.
Palestinian women also suffer difficult conditions, especially with regard to reproductive health, the menstrual cycle, pregnancy and childbirth, while the suffering and pain from the loss of their loved ones and families is indescribable.
In the same context, hundreds of reports have been issued by international bodies monitoring the suffering of women in the Gaza Strip due to the continuation of the war. Meanwhile in the West Bank, for more than a year, women and children continue to be used as human shields, where 18 women lost their lives, more than 425 were arrested and 94 of them still face an unknown fate so far, after being arrested in humiliating and tragic conditions, and exposed to systematic torture and humiliation.
