‘Lives cut short’: Gaza’s surging miscarriage crisis https://t.co/mWDO7t1o1e

[Drop Site @DropSiteNews]

🇵🇸 Gaza recorded 3,958 miscarriages among pregnant women in the first half of 2026, according to Bassam Zaqout, director of Medical Relief in the Strip.

Zaqout attributed the unprecedented rise to pregnant women being forced to travel over rough roads in unsafe transport, constant terror from Israeli bombardment, sleeping on the ground, lack of hot water and hygiene supplies, and unsanitary conditions in displacement camps.

He said Gaza’s health crisis is worsening amid severe shortages of medicines, equipment, diagnostic tools, and laboratory supplies, with the health system still operating in emergency mode under severe Israeli restrictions and siege.

@BarryHunt008 @lizditz Yep. In 2011 I flew from Lisbon to Washington, DC. Three rows away someone was sneezing often and so hard that I could feel the spray. Four days after my arrival in DC I ended up in the hospital with pneumonia.
