UNITED NATIONS, 24th Feb. UNRWA on Friday said 7 of its 23 health centres in Gaza are operational, with only one still functioning in the north.
OCHA reported that 600 UNRWA staff continue to work in these facilities, where they provided more than 11,000 medical consultations this past Monday.
Over 8,000 additional medical consultations also were carried out by staff at shelters and at newly established medical points in Mawasi area, where people displaced from Khan Younis have been flocking.
UN Population Fund continues to support pregnant and breastfeeding women in Gaza, where some 5,500 women are expected to give birth in the coming month, with little to no access to medical support.
UNFPA has been distributing critical medicine and equipment to health facilities, where access allows, including the Al-Helal Al-Emirati Hospital in Rafah. Items include supplies for maternity, postpartum and reproductive health as well as dignity kits, OCHA added.
