The United Nations Population Fund UNFPA has warned against the repercussions of malnutrition on the pregnant women and new born babies in Gaza as the Israeli regime continues genocidal war and blockade of the crossings into the war-torn strip.

“Premature babies are at imminent risk of death in #Gaza due to the blockade, Israel’s constant attacks on hospitals, lack of medicine and fuel, and rampant infectious diseases,” the UN agency said via its UNFPA Arab States account on X, formerly Twitter.
