Pregnant women in Gaza reportedly being forced to undergo C-section deliveries without anaesthesia

The war is taking a devastating toll on Palestinian women and children in Gaza.
More than 50,000 women in Gaza are pregnant.
5,500 of them are expected to give birth this month but it's unclear how they can reach hospitals through a war zone and get the care they need.
These women are facing life-threatening challenges as a result of Israel's unrelenting bombardment of Gaza.

Laila Baker is the Arab States Regional Director at the United Nations Population Fund. She joins us from Cairo for her analysis.
