20,000 babies born into “Gaza war hell,” says UNICEF


pproximately 20,000 babies have been born in Gaza since the start of the aggression on the Strip, one every 10 minutes - according to UNICEF, the United Nations children’s agency.

UNICEF spokeswoman Tess Ingram, back from a recent visit to Gaza, described mothers bleeding to death and one nurse who had performed emergency C-section surgeries on six dead women.

"That's a baby born into this horrendous war every 10 minutes," Ingram told reporters, "becoming a mother should be a time for celebration. In Gaza, it's another child delivered into hell.”
