‘The war caused this’: Miscarriages soar in Gaza amid Israeli bombing and siege

A Palestinian woman named Sahar al-Majdalawi experienced a miscarriage after walking for hours to reach a hospital in Gaza due to Israeli bombing and the destruction of transportation infrastructure. Her experience reflects a broader trend of rising miscarriage rates in Gaza since Israel's military operation began in October 2023. According to the International Planned Parenthood Federation, miscarriage rates have increased by over 300% compared to pre-war levels, with current rates reaching approximately 460 per 1,000 births. Dr. Adnan Radi, a senior consultant in obstetrics and gynaecology, notes that these figures likely underrepresent the true extent of the crisis, as many women are unable to access medical care and data collection remains challenging in the densely populated tent camps.
