WHO Reports Sharp Rise In Newborn Deaths In Gaza.

The World Health Organization (WHO) reports a significant increase in newborn mortality in the Gaza Strip during Israel's ongoing offensive. Local medical professionals have cited a rise in the number of underweight newborns and a higher proportion of children not surviving the neonatal period due to their small size. The destruction in Palestinian territories makes it difficult for the WHO to establish accurate infant death figures. The warfare between Israel and Hamas has led to the destruction of Gaza's largest hospital, Al-Shifa Medical Complex, severely impacting the region's healthcare system.
