Medics working in one of the only maternity hospitals still operating in Gaza have provided harrowing accounts of conditions and have warned of a rise in miscarriages due stress, lack of food, and injuries.

With limited medical supplies and no electricity, doctors and nurses in Al-Awda Hospital are delivering up to 50 babies each day in a facility that only has 35 beds.
