Rafah's main maternity hospital stops admitting patients: Report

The main maternity hospital in Rafah has stopped admitting patients, the UN said on Wednesday.

The United Nations Population Fund told Reuters that al-Helal al-Emirati Maternity Hospital had started turning away patients.

Although the Emirati hospital has only five delivery beds, it has been conducting about 85 out of a daily total of 180 births in Gaza amid the war.
