A dire crisis on 50,000 pregnant women in Gaza, lack of drinking water-medicine


Israel Hamas War : There are two images of the ongoing war between Israel and Hamas in Gaza. In one we only see death while in the other picture people are seen suffering from hunger, thirst and lack of basic facilities. Millions of people are forced to live this kind of life in relief camps. It includes children and adults.

The condition is so bad that there is no one to see the trouble

The condition of women in relief camps is not good. Pregnant women are living with the most fear and distress. There is no one to care or listen to them. Niven al-Barbari has a similar problem. According to a report, 33-year-old Niven Al Barbari is in fear of her unborn child. He gets sick to his stomach after every Israeli attack around him. But there is no one around to see the trouble.

'Hope me and the baby stay safe'

Al-Barbari said she had gestational diabetes and high blood pressure, so she had been seeing a specialist regularly until just before the Israeli offensive began on October 7. But the bombings have forced him to live this way. He has lost contact with his family.

She says, "I wonder how and where I will give birth to my baby. The bombs are falling anytime and anywhere. We don't know when the bombs will fall on someone's house and everything will be over. I just hope. That I and my child will be safe.” This problem is not just for Al-Barbari, but for thousands of women like her who are pregnant and in their last months of pregnancy.

Pregnant women are not routinely screened

According to the United Nations Population Fund (UNPF), there are approximately 50,000 pregnant women in the war-torn Gaza Strip, many of whom suffer from a lack of regular check-ups and treatment. Al-Barbari says "The images of children lying in the rubble of their homes or hospitalized with injuries make me very afraid for my child. I pray every day that the war ends to save my child from these missiles." According to Walid Abu Hatab, a medical consultant in obstetrics and gynecology at Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Younis, the displacement has made it very difficult to reach health centers.

Water to drink, no medicines required

Suad Asraf, a woman six months pregnant with her third child. She is taking refuge in a school. She is suffering from extreme fatigue. She said that she was tired due to lack of sleep and fear. I also have to take care of my other two children but there is no clean water or medicine here. Salty water is available for drinking or not potable. It can also affect pregnancy.

According to the Palestinian Family Planning and Protection Association, more than 37,000 pregnant women in Gaza will be forced to give birth in the coming months without electricity or medical supplies, potentially putting lives at risk. There will be danger. Abu Hatab said, "I received dozens of calls from pregnant women telling me that they are suffering from insulin and heart disease and cannot reach health centers. Lack of health care and treatment puts their lives at risk and can cause death."

Kathmandu, June 17, 2023, Saturday A community called Raute living in Nepal for centuries is on the verge of extinction. Today only 150 people of this tribe are left. The central mountainous region in Nepal is considered their home. which is near the Himalayas and the southern Terai plains of Nepal. The Raute people live in temporary houses covered with cloth over wood. However, since they live completely cut off from the rest of the world, it becomes difficult to find their abode. The men of the Raute community are adept at hunting monkeys. Once they have followed a monkey, they do not return without hunting. The Raute people sit around a fire at night in winter. What is new is that they consider it a sin to grow seeds in the soil, so instead of farming, they use the grains found naturally in the forest as food. Every day women and children bring grain bearing plants and extract grains from them. They also eat fruits and vegetables that grow naturally. This nomadic species does no
