Gaza: UK Pledges £3 Million to Support Women’s Health
Tuesday, September 23, 2025 2:20 PM
The United Kingdom has pledged £3 million in humanitarian aid to support pregnant women, new mothers, and girls in Gaza, providing midwifery services and menstrual hygiene kits amid a deepening humanitarian crisis. Delivered through UNFPA (United Nations Population Fund), the aid will bolster reproductive and maternal health care, including deploying mobile midwives and essential supplies. Women in Gaza face dire conditions, with many forced to give birth without medical assistance, a lack of essential medicines, and no access to menstrual hygiene products or safe reproductive health care. The support comes alongside the UK’s broader commitment of £60 million in humanitarian aid to the Occupied Palestinian Territories this fiscal year.
