The October 7, 2023, dangerous Hamas-led strike which prompted Israel’s devastating battle in the Gaza Strip, has intensified over the past year, spreading to fresh sides. It has resulted in the movement of 2.3 million Gazans, according to Gaza’s heath department.
According to Reuters, among the displaced is Rana Salah, a Gazan family who cradles her one-month-old child Milana in a blazing camp at a station in Deir al-Balah, key Gaza. She expresses the profound regret she feels for bringing her baby into a world that is rife with anguish and war.
Would n’t have gotten pregnant
” If it were up to me, I would n’t have gotten pregnant or given birth during the war because life is completely different, we’ve never lived this life before”, she told Reuters.
Reflecting on her previous experiences, Rana recalls,” I gave birth half before, and living was better and easier for me and the baby. We deserve better than this, so I feel like I’ve wronged both myself and the baby right then.
Milana was born via a caesarean part in a hospital camp, as complications arose during Salah’s pregnancy. The home has been forced to move from one camp to another because the home is unable to return to their home as a result of the ongoing conflict.
20, 000 newborns born in Gaza
According to Unicef data, Milana is among the approximately 20, 000 newborns born in Gaza over the past year. “Instead of returning to our house, we keep moving from one tent to another… where diseases are widespread and the water is contaminated,” Rana said.
Women who have complications and have less access to the care they need as do their babies have limited access to the necessary care, according to the World Health Organization ( WHO ) report a significant decrease in postnatal services in Gaza.
According to Rick Brennan, the WHO’s Eastern Mediterranean Regional emergency director, children face the threat of hunger, particularly if their parents are unable to drink due to the lack of exposure to breasts milk options.
He mentioned that a newborn’s continuous action and movement can be very destructive, increasing their risk of infection.
How can I take…
Her husband was killed in the conflict, so Manar Abu Jarad, who is currently residing in a school shelter run by the UN Palestinian refugee agency ( UNRWA ), gave birth to her youngest daughter Sahar on September 4th via cesarean section.
Abu Jarad was concerned about how she would handle to treatment for her other kids while recovering from the operation when she learned that she would need a surgery for the baby. ” I now have three women. I started shouting… How can I carry ( water ) buckets? How can I swim my girls? How can I assist them and my father is not with me, he was martyred”, Abu told Reuters.
” I’ve come to the point where I ca n’t bear the guilt for this girl,” I said. Thank God I found some aid around”, she said. She has borrowed what she can from her family, and she is forced to use just one diaper per day for the baby, adding that” I do n’t have the money to provide her with diapers or milk.”
Abu longs for the end of the war, even if it means residing in a camp next to her house. The key is to return house, they say. Enough of all the stress we are experiencing around, enough carrying buckets, enough of the dust in the restrooms. It’s really, truly hard and truly tiring for us. Conditions are everywhere”, she added.
Hamas ‘ dangerous celebration
The country is gearing up for a strained week marked by both mourning and continuing fighting as the celebration of the fatal Hamas-led assault on southwestern Israel draws near.
With the security situation in doubt, shifting limits on public gatherings in Israel have heightened the concern over planned memorials for the rape victims, which only adds to the region’s ongoing agitation.
The latest war, a particularly dangerous event in the decades-old Israeli-Palestinian discord, was triggered on October 7, 2023, when Hamas militants attacked Israel, killing 1, 200 people and taking on 250 hostages, according to Israeli tallies.
Israeli heat and artillery attacks have caused much of the Arab enclave to become dust, and the Gaza wellness ministry claims that more than 41,500 Palestinians have lost their lives as a result of the Jewish abuse.
