Highlights: As Israeli army attacks continue in Gaza, women are giving birth in tents. They do not have anesthesia or disinfectants for deliveries or cesarean sections. When there is hardly any water to drink, washing is secondary, but the lack of hygiene is triggering diseases. Many Gazans take pills to delay menstruation and have one less problem, despite the consequences this may have for their health. Palestinian journalist Eman Alhaj Ali tells us how their living conditions have been deteriorating since October 7.

A Gazan journalist speaks to us from a field in Rafah, south of the Strip, where she herself is displaced with her family because her house has been bombed.
