UN says at least 50,000 pregnant women are unable to access health services

In Gaza, the war has taken a devastating toll on Palestinian women and children.
Hospitals are overwhelmed and that means many can't get basic care.

The UN says at least 50,000 pregnant women are unable to access health services.

5,500 women are expected to give birth this month and it's unclear how they can reach hospitals through a war zone or get the care they need.
