Israeli blockade in Gaza causes 300 miscarriages, officials say

Authorities in Gaza say at least 300 pregnant women have suffered miscarriages as extreme hunger grips the besieged enclave.

The Government Media Office blamed the sharp rise in pregnancy complications on severe food shortages.

Health officials confirmed that 58 Palestinians have died from malnutrition, while another 242 lost their lives due to the lack of food and essential medicines.

Despite mounting international pressure, Israel has allowed only limited aid to enter Gaza this week, offering little relief after more than 11 weeks of blockade.
