As the war on Gaza reached its six-month mark, it continues to be a war on women. According to UN
Women estimates, over 10,000 women have been killed to date, amongst them an estimated 6000 women who left 19,000 orphan children behind. Women who have survived have been displaced, widowed, and facing starvation. More than one million women and girls in Gaza have almost no food, no access to safe water, latrines, washrooms, or sanitary pads, with disease growing amidst inhumane living conditions.
