"This systematic erosion of their rights to health, safety, dignity and a future is not an unfortunate by-product of war; it is a deliberate act of war targeting women and girls. It is also the foreseeable consequence of Israel's calculated policies and practices of multiple mass displacement, deliberate restrictions on basic and essential items, as well as humanitarian relief, and two years of relentless bombardment that have devastated Gaza's health system and decimated entire families."
"Palestinian women in the Gaza Strip have been denied the conditions needed to live and to give life safely by Israel amid its genocidal war on the enclave. Women and girls in Gaza have been pushed to the brink as the Israeli war has spurred a series of hardships, from mass displacement to the destruction of the local healthcare system."
"Pregnant women, as well as those who need treatment for cancer and other illnesses, have been particularly hard-hit by the lack of adequate health services in the territory. The health sector in Gaza remains under significant constraints as a result of the restrictions on medical supplies and equipment, as well as fuel."
Amnesty International documents severe deterioration of health and safety conditions for Palestinian women and girls in Gaza, characterizing it as deliberate warfare rather than collateral damage. The organization identifies systematic erosion of rights to health, safety, dignity, and future prospects resulting from Israeli policies including mass displacement, restrictions on essential items and humanitarian aid, and continuous bombardment. Pregnant women and those requiring cancer treatment face particular hardship due to healthcare system collapse. Over 72,000 Palestinians have been killed since October 2023, with hundreds of thousands remaining displaced. The UN confirms Gaza's health sector operates under severe constraints due to medical supply restrictions and fuel shortages, while Israeli attacks continue despite ceasefire agreements.
