Amnesty International warned that what Palestinian women and girls in the Gaza Strip are experiencing represents one of the most severe forms of discrimination and gender-based violence amid ongoing Israeli attacks and the widespread destruction that has affected essential infrastructure and healthcare facilities, particularly reproductive health services.
