The Palestinian Family Planning & Protection Association's only clinic was recently destroyed, its executive director told Jezebel.
Ammal Awadallah hasn’t heard much from Wafa Abu Hasheish, a healthcare worker in Gaza, lately. The executive director of the Palestinian Family Planning and Protection Association , who’s currently based in Jerusalem, says the increasingly concerning silence from Hasheish could stem from any number of things—not the least of which includes that PFPPA’s only service delivery point was destroyed on October 8 when an Israeli airstrike hit the building next to it.
” But miscarriages, Awadallah says, are just one concern: “There’s also maternal mortality, where we can only imagine that with a lack of resources, the lack of ability to access services and lack of available safe places for delivery—these are all factors that impact the maternal mortality,” she explained. “And we don’t know exactly what has happened in the past 10 days especially as communication is difficult.
