Since October 7, 2023, Israel has implemented measures that prevent childbirth in Gaza, committing one of the acts constituting genocide. These measures include failing to protect pregnant women from military attacks, depriving them of medical care by destroying the healthcare system and obstructing their access to it, using starvation as a weapon of war, and imposing harsh living conditions that exacerbate health risks, such as continuous forced displacement and the spread of disease. As a result, many women have lost their pregnancies, while others have been forced into premature labor or have given birth to stillborn infants.

Watch these harrowing testimonies and share to amplify the voices of those who cannot speak for themselves.
