NEW YORK CITY: The reproductive health crisis in Gaza and the West Bank will take “generations” to overcome, a senior UN official warned on Wednesday, citing soaring numbers of maternal deaths, mass malnutrition among pregnant women, and widespread psychological trauma affecting the youth of the territories. Andrew Saberton, deputy executive director of the UN Population Fund, said after a visit to the region that the scale of the devastation women and girls face is “far worse than expected,” with critical services shattered and entire communities pushed beyond survival.
