The ongoing war between Israel and the Palestinian terror group Hamas in Gaza has created a "nightmare" for mothers and babies in the region. Doctors have reported an increase in small, sickly newborn stillbirths and most women undergoing cesarean sections without proper anesthesia, United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) representative for Palestine, Dominic Allen said, per AFP. Allen is particularly concerned for the one million women and girls in Gaza, including the 180 women giving birth daily.
