Abstract

Pregnancy-related encounters in Gaza occurred amid pervasive food scarcity, displacement, smoke exposure, and recent bombardment, alongside high anemia prevalence and limited prenatal care. Maternal care featured substantial caesarean use and severe maternal complications, while neonatal outcomes included frequent NICU admission, underscoring a high-risk environment for mothers and newborns.
