In Gaza they are really suffering, even before birth. Due to the lack of food and medicine because of the Israeli blockade, an alarming number of pregnant women are anemic. They pass on this anemia to fetuses that never come to fruition and children who do. More than three-fourths of the residents of Gaza are anemic because of malnutrition and a dearth of medicine.
Things have gotten so bad there that the poverty rate is now 67%.
