Women and newborns bearing the brunt of the conflict in Gaza, UN agencies warn
www.who.int
Women, children and newborns in Gaza are disproportionately bearing the burden of the escalation of hostilities in the occupied Palestinian territory, both as casualties and in reduced access to health services.

As of 3 November, according to Ministry of Health data, 2326 women and 3760 children have been killed in the Gaza strip, representing 67% of all casualties, while thousands more have been injured. This means that 420 children are killed or injured every day, some of them only a few months old.

    But hey, according to the IDF they’re killing 69 Hamas leaders every day too, so it all balances out!

    (fuck I’m so depressed)

      Maybe they’re going by body mass? 1 Hamas = the weight of 10 babies, so that’s what makes it right! Logic!

    If they dont stand behind Hamas they should have been born someplace else!

    Some Israeli general is smoking a blunt, rapidly pressing a red button, and shouting “420 blaze those babies!”
