Human Rights Watch's report highlights the severe violations of rights for pregnant women and babies in Gaza, exacerbated by Israel's military actions and the ongoing humanitarian crisis. The report indicates that despite a ceasefire, conditions for maternal and newborn care remain dire. Pregnant women are discharged from overcrowded facilities rapidly, and many newborns lack essential care due to a shortage of incubators. New legislation by the Israeli government seems poised to further restrict humanitarian aid, worsening issues of maternal and child health in the territory.
