“Between 2000 & 2004, nearly 100 Palestinian women were forced to give birth at Israeli checkpoints. At least 54 newborns died because soldiers delayed or denied passage [...] even childbirth was being shaped by military control long before the current genocide."
Israel is waging a reproductive genocide against Palestinian mothers in Gaza
