Amid conflict and crisis: addressing the mental health challenges of pregnant women in Gaza through integrated humanitarian and healthcare interventions
摘要
This manuscript highlights the mental health challenges faced by pregnant women in Gaza amidst ongoing conflict and a collapsing healthcare system. Limited access to prenatal care and psychological support and the destruction of healthcare infrastructure has worsened mental health issues like anxiety and depression. Pregnant women in Gaza are at higher risk of miscarriage, stillbirth, and birth defects, further impacting their mental well-being. This study calls for urgent interventions, including vaccination, nutrition campaigns, and improved sanitation to control infectious diseases. It emphasizes the need for 24-hour mental health centers and trained professionals to provide care. Additionally, digital health solutions such as telemedicine and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) can be crucial in diagnosing and managing health conditions in conflict zones.
