“I had no choice but to deliver my own baby”: Health workers in Gaza city describe impossible conditions2.10.2025 14:25:10 CEST | News

GAZA STRIP, Occupied Palestinian Territory – “The labour pains hit me at 4 am, but there was no one to help,” said Yasmeen, a midwife in Gaza city. “I felt it might end with my death, and the death of my unborn baby.” Her husband rushed out to seek help, but no ambulance was available and no one else could get them to a hospital. Yasmeen braced herself for delivery. “I asked my children to put a mattress on the floor. I had no painkillers. But I had no choice but to deliver my own baby.”

Afgørende at investere i kvinders og pigers rettigheder og valgmuligheder, herunder adgang til prævention26.9.2025 08:35:31 CEST | Pressemeddelelse

Reproduktiv handlefrihed - altså muligheden for selv at bestemme om og hvornår man vil have børn - er en grundlæggende menneskerettighed. Men for millioner af mennesker er denne rettighed stadig ikke opfyldt. Over hele verden oplever mennesker ikke planlagte graviditeter eller er ude af stand til at få de børn, de ønsker, hvilket har betydelig indvirkning på deres fysiske og mentale helbred.
