India, June 10 -- Urges Palestinian women's leadership in humanitarian efforts in Gaza and West Bank

A new report by UN Women is urging for Palestinian women-led organisations to be placed at the forefront of the ongoing humanitarian response in Gaza and the West Bank. The United Nations' agency released a new Gender Alert on June 10, 2024, focusing on the work of women-led organisations.

The latest Gender Alert highlighted the dire situation facing Palestinian women, particularly in Gaza, where 80 per cent reportedly rely on food assistance. The report argued that Palestinian women's organisations have a unique understanding of the challenges faced by women and girls in the region, making them best suited to deliver vital aid.
