‘There’s no women’s day for Palestinian women in Gaza’, says displaced women in Rafah

“Women worldwide eagerly await and celebrate Women’s Day. But women in Gaza live in tents, deprived of rights and unable to celebrate it.” On Women’s Day, displaced Palestinian women at a makeshift camp in Rafah voice the challenges they confront, including the loss of children and family members, the living conditions in their makeshift tents, and the struggle with harsh weather and insufficient supplies. According to the health ministry and the Gaza-based government media office, nearly 9,000 women have been killed in Israeli attacks in five months. Another 2,100 are missing and presumed dead, while 23,000 have been wounded and over half a million are displaced. Dozens of women and girls have also been detained and face harsh conditions in Israeli custody, including sexual abuse, according to rights groups and media reports.
