Silenced Needs: Gaza's Women in Crisis
In Gaza's constrained spaces, where the siege tightens its grip, women face a deeply personal crisis, hidden yet profound. Deprived of basic sanitary products due to the blockade and abandonment of humanitarian aid, they resort to cutting fabrics from their own tents, a testament to their resilience and the direness of their situation. Some turn to supplements, seeking to delay their periods, a choice born not of convenience but of desperation. This silent struggle against the backdrop of war crimes and collective punishment goes largely unnoticed, yet voices from across the globe are beginning to spotlight this overlooked humanitarian crisis. They call for an end to the siege, for the world to acknowledge and address the basic needs of Gaza's women, urging action against the injustices that force them into such dire measures.
