While visiting the Al-Shifa Medical Complex during a tour of Palestine, UNFPA Representative Nestor Owomuhangi said the Fund will increase its support to the people of the Gaza Strip, with a particular focus on providing health services to women and girls.
"We will continue to supply medical equipment and supplies to Gaza, as well as deploy midwives, to ensure that services are provided to pregnant and postpartum women despite the difficult circumstances," Ovomuhangi said.
The Fund currently supports 22 health facilities throughout the Gaza Strip, including five major hospitals.
Footage from Al-Shifa Hospital, filmed during the visit and distributed by UNFPA, demonstrates the scale of destruction to the hospital complex and its infrastructure. Despite the colossal damage to one of the largest hospitals in the sector, Al-Shifa continues to partially function, providing vital medical services.
In recent weeks, UNFPA has expanded its operations in Gaza, coordinating the work of 175 midwives across the Strip and continuing to deliver medicines and medical equipment from around the world to ensure local health facilities can reach all women and girls in Gaza who need support.
