High-stakes Gaza ceasefire talks have ended. Hereâs what to know

â
Mediators in talks for a ceasefire agreement between Hamas and Israel made a last-ditch effort this week to revive stalled negotiations, with high-stakes discussions wrapping up Friday against a backdrop of tension and desperation in the region.
The meeting in Doha started on Thursday and has now ended, a diplomat familiar with the discussions told CNN. A breakthrough wasnât expected but efforts will continue. Technical teams will meet again in the coming days, starting Saturday, until the main figures meet again in Cairo next week, the diplomat said.
It took place as the Middle East braces for a possible Iranian attack on Israel, and after the death toll since October in Gaza reached 40,000 people, a bleak figure that underscores 10 months of suffering, malnutrition and despair in the enclave.
The fear of an Iranian attack poses a serious threat to any hopes of a ceasefire that have already appeared tenuous in recent weeks, after Israeli strikes took out Hamasâ former political leader and senior figures in Lebanese militant group Hezbollah.
But the talks went ahead, despite some initial fears they would be scrapped. Participants on Thursday included CIA director Bill Burns, Mossad chief David Barnea, Qatari Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Jassim Al Thani and Egyptian intelligence head Abbas Kamel, a diplomatic source close to negotiations told CNN.
In the meeting, Qatar, Egypt and the United States were expected to present a plan to implement a deal that could bring about a ceasefire in the war in Gaza and free the remaining Israeli hostages held by Hamas. The deal was proposed by US President Joe Biden in May â but unresolved differences have left the path forward unclear.
Hereâs what we know about the status of the talks.

What happened in the talks?
Mediators presented a bridging proposal to Israel and Hamas to close the remaining gaps of disagreement between both sides, a joint statement between the US, Qatar and Egypt said on Friday after talks wrapped up for the week.
The statement, published by the Egyptian presidency and Qatari foreign ministry, said the proposal presented to both sides âbuilds on the areas of agreement over the past week,â and âbridges remaining gaps in a manner that allows for a swift implementation of the deal.â
The talks were âserious and constructive,â the statement said.

But the statement did not elaborate on what points of agreement were achieved over the past week.
Hamas had said it would not participate in talks but engaged separately with Qatari and Egyptian mediators, a source told CNN, adding that the mediators are still working to bridge the gap on the remaining key differences.
âOur position was clear⊠we will not go for new negotiation rounds. We will only go to implement what has been agreed on,â Basem Naim, a member of the Hamas political bureau, told CNN on Tuesday.
On Thursday, the militant group reiterated that there will be no hostage deal or ceasefire agreement without a complete withdrawal of Israeli troops from Gaza.
What is Bidenâs proposal?
In May, Biden laid out a three-phase proposal the administration said was submitted by Israel that would pair a release of hostages from Gaza with a âfull and complete ceasefireâ and a release of Palestinian prisoners held in Israel.
The first phase would last six weeks and include the âwithdrawal of Israeli forces from all populated areas of Gazaâ and the ârelease of a number of hostages, including women, the elderly, the wounded in exchange for the release of hundreds of Palestinian prisonersâ and the implementation of a temporary truce.

Phase 2 would allow for the âexchange for the release of all remaining living hostages, including male soldiersâ and a permanent end to the fighting.
In Phase 3, a âmajor reconstruction plan for Gaza would commence and any final remains of hostages whoâve been killed will be returned to their families,â the US president said.
Israel launched its war against Hamas after the groupâs cross-border October 7 attacks, in which more than 1,200 Israelis were killed and 250 taken hostage, according to Israeli authorities. More than 100 of those hostages remain in Gaza, their families back home pleading for a breakthrough to secure their safe return. It is unclear how many of the original hostages set for release are still alive.
Hamas and Israel have been engaged in tedious negotiations for months. Officials from Qatar and Egypt act as intermediaries, delivering messages to Israeli and Hamas representatives in shuttle-style diplomacy since representatives from the warring parties are not present at the same location. Technical teams have flown in and out of Doha and Cairo to iron out details for a potential agreement.
What are the key remaining sticking points?
Despite an initial positive reaction from Hamas and Israel, both sides failed to agree on the implementation of the finer details of the proposal including the sequencing of the hostage-prisoner exchange, the number of Palestinian prisoners to be released and how far back Israeli forces should withdraw in Gaza.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been accused of undermining the deal as far-right members of his ruling coalition threaten to collapse the government despite pressure from the US and families of hostages.
Throughout the war, the prime minister has been caught between two potent political forces: the far-right members of his governing coalition who have been opposed to any suggestion that Israeli troops should leave Gaza, and the relatives of hostages held by Hamas, who have formed a powerful pressure group and have implored Netanyahu to reach a deal.
Last month, the prime minister reversed on a key Israeli concession in ceasefire negotiations, demanding that armed men be barred from returning to northern Gaza during an eventual ceasefire, an Israeli source familiar with the talks told CNN. Israel had previously agreed to allow Palestinians unrestricted access to northern Gaza.
Netanyahuâs office on Tuesday rejected claims that the prime minister had changed positions, saying his most recent stance âdoes not introduce extra conditions and certainly does not contradict or undermineâ the May proposal. Netanyahuâs office instead accused Hamas of adding unrealistic demands to its position.
A regional diplomat familiar with the negotiations told CNN that the remaining sticking points for Hamas are Israelâs restrictions on the movement of people from southern Gaza to the north, its demand for a veto over which Palestinian prisoners would be released, as well as its continued presence at the Philadelphi corridor and the Rafah border crossing with Egypt.
The diplomat spoke on condition of anonymity due to the sensitivity of the matter.
What is Hamasâ position?
US officials had said that talks had reached an advanced stage until Hamasâ political leader, Ismail Haniyeh, was killed in Tehran in late July in an assassination Iran blamed on Israel. Israel hasnât confirmed or denied responsibility, but Iran has vowed vengeance.
There were concerns that the assassination would throw a wrench in the negotiations between Israel and Hamas. The militant group replaced Haniyeh with Yahya Sinwar, the hardline Hamas leader in Gaza who is one of Israelâs most wanted men. While Haniyeh, a relative moderate, lived in Qatar and was susceptible to pressure from his host country, Sinwar is believed to be deep underground in a tunnel in Gaza and is hard to reach.
Hamas on Thursday denied it was having difficulty communicating with its leader Sinwar, after one of its top officials Osama Hamdan reportedly acknowledged in an interview with the Associated Press on Tuesday that there are âsome difficultiesâ and delays in communicating with him.
Hamas hasnât ruled out an agreement with Israel, but said that it wonât engage in further negotiations. It instead asked mediators for a plan to implement a ceasefire proposal put forward by Biden.
A Hamas source told CNN on Wednesday that the group has adopted a position of âintentional ambiguityâ over whether it will attend ceasefire talks, adding that its position on a potential ceasefire is firm whether not it attends the talks.
Asked why Hamas has been unclear about whether it will attend the ceasefire talks, the source said: âThis ambiguity is the movementâs position, which was announced in its latest statement, is intentional and did not come by chance. It comes as a result of Netanyahuâs behavior.â
Why is this round of talks so important?
This latest round of ceasefire talks were the result of a major diplomatic effort by mediators Qatar, Egypt and the US to push for a last-ditch effort to end the war and free the hostages as Iran prepares to attack Israel.
The urgency of the talks was highlighted by the three mediators, who issued a rare joint statement last week calling on the warring parties to return to negotiations and offered what they called a âfinal bridge proposalâ to overcome the remaining sticking points. The details of that proposal have not been made public.
In parallel, US and Middle East diplomats have been mobilizing to dissuade Iran from launching an attack on Israel that could lead to a wider regional war. Both Iran and the US have said that that lines of communication between them are open through intermediaries.
There have been some indications that Iran may abandon plans to attack Israel if a ceasefire deal is reached. But the countryâs mission to the United Nations said on Saturday that Tehranâs retaliation is âtotally unrelated to the Gaza ceasefire.â
As of Tuesday afternoon, US officials didnât believe that Iran has decided on a course of retaliatory action against Israel, according to two US administration officials. Furious diplomatic backchannel efforts are ongoing to try to deter a wide-scale attack and de-escalate the volatile situation, one of those officials said.
The second official added that the Biden administration does believe that the USâs public warnings in recent days have affected Iranâs calculus.
The conversation between Al Thani and Kani was âpositive,â a diplomat familiar with the call said.
Biden acknowledged the challenges facing a ceasefire deal Tuesday, telling reporters traveling with him to New Orleans heâs âconcernedâ about negotiations between the two parties amid the looming threat of an attack on Israel from Iran.
The president rebuffed questions on what heâs doing to pressure Israel and Hamas to come to the bargaining table for proposed ceasefire deal talks Thursday, telling reporters, âIf I told you what pressure thaï»żt Iâm putting on it, it wouldnât be very much pressure would it?â
The regional diplomat who spoke to CNN said there is concern that Iran may not hold back on striking Israel, as the diplomat believes the Biden administration is not applying enough pressure on Netanyahu to reach an agreement.
The lack of clarity on whether the Israeli prime minister will adhere to Bidenâs May proposal, the source added, suggests time is running out to strike a deal before an Iranian attack. Qatar and Egypt, the source said, may not have enough influence to push Hamas to compromise.

40,405 Palestinians killed in Israel's military offensive on Gaza since Oct. 7, Gaza health ministry says
CAIRO, Aug 25 (Reuters) - At least 40,405 Palestinians have been killed and 93,468 others injured in Israel's military offensive on Gaza since Oct. 7, said the Gaza Health Ministry.
In the last 24-hours, 71 were killed and 112 were injured in what the ministry called three "massacres" by Israel in the strip.
The recent war in Gaza started after Hamas militants attacked Israel on Oct. 7, killing 1,200 people, according to Israeli tallies.
Israel says it goes out of its way to avoid civilian casualties and accuses Hamas of using human shields, an allegation the group denies.

Arab nations reject Trumpâs call to relocate Gazans to neighboring countries
A key group of Arab nations have said they âfirmlyâ reject any efforts to resettle or evict Palestinians from Gaza, after US President Donald Trump said he wanted to âclean outâ the enclave and move its population to neighboring countries.
The foreign ministers of Jordan, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Egypt issued a wide-ranging statement Saturday, saying they hoped to work with Trump on a two-state solution in the Middle East.
But they pushed back on Trumpâs suggestion to relocate Palestinians from Gaza. Without specifically referencing the presidentâs proposal, the ministers reiterated a commitment to rebuilding the enclave while ensuring âthe continued presence of Palestinians in their homeland.â
The nations âfirmly rejected any actions that threaten these rights, including settlement expansion, forced evictions, home demolitions, land annexation, or the displacement of Palestinians through direct expulsion or coerced migration,â they wrote after a meeting of the foreign ministers in Cairo.
In January, Trump said he had spoken with the king of Jordan about potentially building housing elsewhere in the Middle East and moving more than 1 million Palestinians from Gaza to neighboring countries.
âI said to him that Iâd love you to take on more, because Iâm looking at the whole Gaza Strip right now and itâs a mess, itâs a real mess,â he told reporters aboard Air Force One. âYouâre talking about a million and a half people, and we just clean out that whole thing.â
âI donât know, something has to happen, but itâs literally a demolition site right now,â Trump said. âAlmost everythingâs demolished, and people are dying there, so Iâd rather get involved with some of the Arab nations and build housing in a different location where I think they could maybe live in peace for a change.â
The statement from the Arab foreign ministers touched on a range of topics relating to Gazaâs reconstruction, as the fragile ceasefire between Hamas and Israel allows the region to assess the impact of a brutal 15-month conflict.
The group hailed âthe important role played by the United States in facilitating the deal,â for which both Trump and his predecessor Joe Biden have sought credit.
They also âcalled for the full withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza and rejected any attempts to partition the Strip,â and pointed to the âindispensable roleâ of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees or UNRWA, two days after Israelâs ban on the agency went into effect.

Egypt to present 'vision' to rebuild Gaza without displacement
Egypt has said it is working on a "comprehensive vision" for the reconstruction of the war-torn Gaza Strip that guarantees Palestinians the right to stay on their land, unlike the proposal put forward by US President Donald Trump.
The Egyptian foreign ministry said it hoped to co-operate with the Trump administration to reach "a just settlement of the Palestinian cause".
It followed Trump's meeting with Jordan's King Abdullah on Tuesday, where he doubled down on his plan for the US to take over Gaza and permanently move the two million Palestinians living there to Jordan, Egypt and other locations.
Abdullah said every Arab state rejected the idea, and that Egypt would present an alternative.
The UN has warned that any forced displacement of the territory's population would be illegal under international law and "tantamount to ethnic cleansing".
It comes amid growing concern that the fighting in Gaza could resume, after Israel's prime minister warned Hamas it would end the ceasefire if the Palestinian armed group "does not return our hostages by Saturday".
Benjamin Netanyahu issued the ultimatum after Hamas said it was postponing freeing more hostages until further notice, claiming Israel had violated the terms of the ceasefire deal.
Sitting alongside King Abdullah at the White House on Tuesday, Trump said there had been "great progress" on his proposal to take over Gaza.
"With the United States being in control of that piece of land... you can have stability in the Middle East for the first time," he told reporters. "And the Palestinians, or the people that live now in Gaza, will be living beautifully in another location."
When pressed by the reporters to comment on the plan to force the Palestinians to relocate to Jordan, King Abdullah said: "We have to keep in mind that there is a plan from Egypt and the Arab countries."
Later, the king wrote on X that he had "reiterated Jordan's steadfast position against the displacement of Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank" during the meeting, adding: "This is the unified Arab position."
Trump had said before the meeting that he could "conceivably" halt aid to Jordan and Egypt if they refused to co-operate with his plan and take in displaced Gazans.
Not long after the king's remarks, Egypt's foreign ministry said it hoped to co-operate with the Trump administration to reach "a just settlement of the Palestinian cause".
"In this context, Egypt affirms its intention to present a comprehensive vision for the reconstruction of the Gaza Strip, in a manner that ensures the Palestinian people stay on their land, and in line with the legitimate and legal rights of this people," it added, without giving any details.
President Abdul Fattah al-Sisi also told Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen in a phone call on Tuesday that the reconstruction of Gaza must happen "without displacing Palestinians", his office said.
It was not immediately clear when Egypt would present its alternative Gaza plan.
Cairo is due to host an emergency Arab summit to discuss the "serious" developments for Palestinians on 27 February, while King Abdullah said Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman had invited Arab leaders to Riyadh at an unspecified date.
Sisi was also given an open invitation by Trump to visit the White House during a phone call earlier this month. However, Egyptian security sources told Reuters news agency on Wednesday that Sisi would not travel to Washington if the agenda included Trump's plan.
Abeer Barakat, a Palestinian teacher in Gaza City, told the BBC she believed Trump's plan was "impossible to achieve" but that it had infuriated people.
"We worry that Jordan and Egypt are going to bend from Trump's threats," she said.
Palestinians fear a repeat of the Nakba - the Arabic word for "catastrophe" - when hundreds of thousands fled or were driven from their homes before and during the war that followed the creation of the State of Israel in 1948.
Many of those refugees ended up in Gaza, where they and their descendants make up three quarters of the population. Another 900,000 registered refugees live in the occupied West Bank, while 3.4 million others live in Jordan, Syria and Lebanon, according to the UN.
Asked by reporters on Monday if the US would force Palestinians to leave Gaza, Trump replied that "they're all going to want to leave". He also said in an interview that Gazans would have no right of return because he was "talking about building a permanent place for them".
The Israeli military launched a campaign to destroy Hamas in response to an unprecedented cross-border attack on 7 October 2023, in which about 1,200 people were killed and 251 were taken hostage.
More than 48,220 people have been killed in Gaza since then, according to the territory's Hamas-run health ministry.
Most of Gaza's population has also been displaced multiple times, almost 70% of buildings are estimated to be damaged or destroyed, the healthcare, water, sanitation and hygiene systems have collapsed, and there are shortages of food, fuel, medicine and shelter.

Toddler who has just days to live evacuated from Gaza for urgent medical care
A Palestinian toddler forced to wait weeks for permission to leave Gaza for life saving medical treatment has finally arrived in Jordan. The girl is now in hospital receiving critical medical treatment.
Two-year-old Habiba al-Askari left the besieged Palestinian enclave after a mammoth effort at the âhighest levelâ in Amman, a Jordanian official familiar with the negotiations told CNN. Jordan decided to evacuate her following a CNN report on her story.
Israel initially approved Habibaâs treatment abroad last month, before it denied authorization for medical evacuations for more than two weeks, according to international aid groups.
Doctors believe Habiba has protein C deficiency â a rare but highly treatable genetic condition, which causes excessive blood clotting â and warned that the child will likely lose her right leg and possibly arms.
But thousands of children like Habiba cannot access life-saving care in Gaza, where more than 15 months of Israelâs siege and bombardment has paralyzed the medical system.
Following a CNN report on Habiba last month, Jordan decided to evacuate her to Amman for urgent medical treatment. Israel then delayed the mission, Jordanian officials told CNN last week. Israeli authorities did not respond to CNNâs repeated requests for comment at the time.
On Thursday, Habiba was admitted into intensive care in Gazaâs Nasser Hospital with a lung infection. Her heart stopped twice, according to her mother and health workers who resuscitated her. On Sunday, Israel further delayed clearing the evacuation â postponing the urgent mission and refusing to allow her mother Rana to accompany her daughter.
In CNN video from the hospital over the weekend, Rana, 37, sobbed and embraced her daughter at her bedside. In one scene, Habiba, who is too young to understand her motherâs pain, leaned over and kissed her mother on the cheeks.
âOh Lord I pray to you for a miracle, but if this is your will, I will accept it,â Rana cried before collapsing to the floor. Habiba, sitting up in her bed, stared quietly at the nurses who rushed to pick up her mother.
Jordanian officials worked behind the scenes to obtain Israeli approval for Rana to escort Habiba and the girlâs brother Soheib.
To spare Habiba a long and perilous journey, Jordan had requested an airlift by its military from the Israel-Gaza border, but Israel denied that request, according to a senior Jordanian official, who told CNN Israeli authorities would only approve a land movement.
On Sunday, Israel then authorized Soheibâs journey â before revoking its permission at the last minute, according to Jordanian officials. The official told CNN that they finally obtained approval for the whole family to leave Gaza early Monday.
The senior official described the mission to evacuate Habiba as unnecessarily difficult. âWe worked relentlessly, daily, to get Habiba out. It was followed at the highest levels in Jordan,â the official said.
COGAT, the Israeli aid agency, told CNN on Monday: âIsrael has approved Habiba Mahmoud Abd al-Nasser Askariâs departure to Jordan for medical treatment, accompanied by her mother and her 10-year-old brother.â
Approvals for the departure of children and their family members for medical treatment were âsubject to a security review by relevant authorities before their entry into Israelâs sovereign territory,â COGAT said on January 14.
Israelâs military campaign since the Hamas-led October 7, 2023, attacks has erased entire families, spawned starvation and disease, and decimated medical infrastructure in Gaza. After a fragile ceasefire and hostage release deal between Israel and Hamas materialized on January 19, Palestinians say they are struggling to reconcile the psychological trauma and physical destruction wrought by more than a year of war.
âThe stakes are a childâs lifeâ
On Monday, the toddler and her family were first transferred in an ambulance by Gazaâs health ministry to the Kerem Shalom border crossing with Israel and handed over to a Jordanian medical team.
Habiba was then taken through Israel and into Jordan via the King Hussein Bridge, also known as the Allenby Bridge crossing, where a medical team dispatched at the order of King Abdullah II was waiting in a helicopter to take her to a hospital in Amman.
A CNN team on the ground at the Jordanian side of the border heard sirens and saw blue and red ambulance lights illuminating a path leading to the helicopter. Three military medics met Rana and her two children inside the emergency vehicle Monday evening before the family were transferred into the chopper. The toddler lay swaddled in a blanket with a red fluffy toy as Rana gazed out the window, her eyes weary with exhaustion after her first time leaving Gaza.
ï»żMilitary medics monitored Habibaâs oxygen levels throughout the ten-minute flight to Amman before they arrived at the Queen Rania Al Abdullah Hospital for Children. Habiba was then seen to by medical workers at the facility. Habiba lay in bed and beamed up at her older brother.
COGAT previously told CNN that it has enabled 24 medical evacuations from Gaza through Israel to other countries âin recent months,â for 1,075 Gaza residents seeking medical care. Between 12,000 to 14,000 people still require medical evacuation from Gaza, according to the World Health Organization.
At least 37 patients and 39 companions left Gaza from Rafah, WHO said on Saturday, after the crossing re-opened.
Like Habiba, 2,500 other children in Gaza require urgent medical evacuation, according to the UN. But for those waiting for a lifeline, there is no such promise, according to a humanitarian worker in the region.
Arwa Damon, the founder of the relief organization INARA, told CNN that Israelâs process for facilitating childrenâs medical evacuations from Gaza is ânever clear.â INARA was not involved in Habibaâs evacuation mission.
âItâs like trying to navigate a twisted reality TV show⊠where the rules for survival are⊠constantly shifting and the stakes are a childâs life,â Damon said Monday. âWhat we have faced trying to get Habiba out is not unique to her, itâs the status quo.â

Israelâs war inflicted âlife-threatening dangerâ on pregnant women and girls in Gaza, Human Rights Watch says
Israel has inflicted âserious and sometimes life-threatening dangerâ on pregnant and postpartum women and girls in Gaza over 15 months of bombardment and siege, according to a new Human Rights Watch report.
The 50-page report, ââFive Babies in One Incubatorâ: Violations of Pregnant Womenâs Rights Amid Israelâs Assault on Gaza,â was published by the US-based advocacy group on Tuesday.
It details attacks on medical facilities and healthcare workers in Gaza that âdirectly harmed women and girls during pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum periodâ and says the war has increased the risk of miscarriage, preterm birth, stillbirth, postpartum hemorrhage and underweight newborns.
HRW accused Israel of enforcing an unlawful blockade, a near-total ban on water, food and electricity, starvation as a method of war, attacks on the medical system, and repeated forcible transfer â violating the right to follow-up and postnatal care for pregnant women and girls, and their children.
Israel is âobligated to use all the resources at its disposal to ensure that everyone in Gaza, including pregnant women and girls and their children, are able to enjoy their human right to health,â the report said. âThis includes ensuring the full restoration of Gazaâs healthcare system so that all patients, including pregnant women and babies, have access to quality medical care.â
HRW repeated allegations that Israel is committing genocide against Palestinians in Gaza, which Israel strongly denies. Israel has also been taken to the UNâs top court, the International Court of Justice, on allegations of genocide.
CNN has reached out to the Israeli military and COGAT, the Israeli aid agency, for comment.
Responding to a question about Israeli attacks on medical facilities and health care workers in Gaza, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) repeated allegations that Hamas uses hospitals for its military operations. Hamas denies using hospitals as cover. CNN cannot independently verify either claim.
COGAT denied blocking relief, delaying the entry of fuel, or limiting the number of humanitarian teams that can go into Gaza, in a statement to CNN.
About 66,474 aid trucks have entered the strip, the agency said. More than 11,000 requests for humanitarian coordination across Gaza were approved, COGAT added. Since October 7, more than 30,460 tons of medical equipment have been transferred, over 53,040 tons of water have been transported through crossings, according to COGAT. The agency said it had facilitated the entry of over 1,300 doctors and humanitarian teams entering and exiting Gaza.
Israelâs onslaught since the Hamas-led October 7 attacks has wiped out entire families, decimated the medical system, and supplies, spawning starvation, disease and displacement.
At least 47,306 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza, according to the Ministry of Health there. Of those, 12,316 were women and another 808 were babies under aged one, Gazaâs Government Media Office (GMO) reported on January 24. Although a fragile ceasefire began last week, the survival challenges facing new and expecting mothers in the enclave remains dire.
Babies dying âin front of usâ
More than 1,054 health workers and medical professionals have been killed, including at least six pediatricians and five obstetrician-gynecologists, HRW said, citing the health ministry in Gaza.
As of January, emergency obstetric and newborn care is available at seven out of 18 partially functioning hospitals in Gaza, four out of 11 field hospitals, and one community health center, according to HRW.
The rate of miscarriage in Gaza has increased by 300% since October 7, 2023, the International Planned Parenthood Federation said in July. Two Palestinian women told HRW their fetuses died after they were injured by explosive weapons attacks that also killed their partners.
Even for those who make it to a medical facility, hospitals offer little respite. Women can be ârushed outâ within hours of childbirth because staff are overwhelmed by scores of patients injured by bombardment, according to HRW.
Mayas Sufyan Musa, 25, told CNN that when she journeyed on foot to Al-Emirati Hospital, in Rafah, to give birth to her daughter, Maria, on February 27, she was startled by crowds of desperate Palestinians seeking refuge.
âI did not get complete and sufficient privacy during my birth. I was very afraid of bleeding,â said Musa. âI faced great difficulty in giving birth due to fear of the shelling next to the hospital.
âMy husband was informed that I had to leave immediately ⊠It was a very difficult moment, and the cleanliness in the hospital was non-existent.â
For pregnant women in Gaza, the stress of trying to survive attacks coupled with food and water shortages could weaken the immune system, harm the fetus, and lead to preterm birth, HRW said. Dr Adnan Radi, a medic at Al Awda Hospital, in northern Gaza, told the agency that most of the babies delivered by staff have severely low birthweight and are dying of perinatal asphyxia.
âWe try to intubate the babies. Sometimes it has helped, but the picture is very gloomy,â Dr. Radi said in the HRW report, adding that âin the last month I can remember more than six babies with low birthweight dying in front of me.â
Meanwhile, shortages of antibacterial materials can increase the risk of sepsis, pneumonia, and meningitis among newborns, Maram Al Shurafa, an aid worker for the NGO, Medical Aid for Palestinians (MAP) in Gaza, told CNN.
âI started begging that God would take the babyâ
In sprawling displacement camps, parents say they cannot find enough food, clean water, warmth or sanitation facilities. Instead, caregivers resort to feeding babies with infant formula made from dirty water, compounding the risk of dehydration, hepatitis A and skin infections according to HRW.
Pregnant and breastfeeding women sharing toilets in crowded spaces are especially vulnerable to infections including UTIs, which can lead to preterm labor, low birth weight, and stillbirths, according to Al Shurafa, a program officer for MAP.
âWomen may feel uncomfortable or self-conscious breastfeeding in such conditions,â said Al Shurafa. âThis lack of privacy can lead to stress and anxiety, which in turn affects the motherâs ability to relax and establish a successful breastfeeding routine.â
More than 48,000 pregnant women are experiencing emergency or catastrophic food insecurity, the UNâs reproductive rights agency said in December.
At least 56 children have starved to death, according to Zahir Al-Wahidi, the director of Information Systems at Gazaâs health ministry. Eight infants and newborns have reportedly died from hypothermia, the UNâs childrenâs agency said in January.
Musa, who is displaced in Deir al-Balah, central Gaza, told CNN that baby Maria, is malnourished.
âThe severity and ferocity of the suffering was concentrated in physical displacement,â she said. âI was afraid that we would be exposed to direct shelling or missile fragments, and from the rain and cold and the flooding of the tents.â
Israa Mazen Diab al-Ghul, 30, a pregnant woman displaced in Nuseirat, central Gaza, told HRW that in early 2024, she and her relatives had nothing to drink but sea water for two days. âI vomited, and I was worried it would kill the baby ⊠I started begging that God would take the baby, so I wouldnât need to give birth during this war.â
Communications disruptions impede womensâ access to hotlines and online information, while power cuts disrupt ultrasounds, and blood and urine tests, HRW said.
One prenatal care patient displaced in Khan Younis, southern Gaza, told CNN she fainted by the time she arrived at Al-Awda Hospital, because she was so exhausted by traveling on foot and lack of nutrition. She could not afford vitamins to alleviate her symptoms.
âEverything is scarce,â said Rahaf Umm Khaled, 21, who is four months pregnant. âI want the war to end completely. I want to give birth to my child in good health, and I want us to return to our homes safely and soundly.â
