The Palestinian Minister for Women's Affairs, Mona El-Khalili, recently shared a stark warning: 73% of the casualties in Gaza are women and children 💔. This shocking figure highlights the dire conditions faced by women and girls in the conflict zone.
El-Khalili explained that displaced women and girls have lost basic privacy and safety, often forced into crowded shelters with limited resources. They’re left struggling to find secure space to sleep, change, and heal 🌙🏚️.
Worse still, over 20,000 women have already lost their lives in this ongoing war. These numbers paint a grim humanitarian picture that calls for urgent global attention and support 🙏.
For young adults across South and Southeast Asia—tech-savvy, socially conscious, and always tuned in—this is a reminder that behind every statistic are real people with real stories. Let’s stay informed and advocate for a more humane response.
