This is the best summary I could come up with:


Pregnant women are having C-sections without anaesthetic while others are forced to use scraps of tents in place of period products, aid workers say.

With more than 1.9 million Gazans displaced since 7 October, a tent “city” of almost two square miles has been set up in Rafah, south of the strip.

No food or medical supplies are allowed to enter the territory, including sanitary towels, tampons and contraceptive pills that could stop or delay periods.

Using unclean materials as sanitary products can cause a risk of infection and potentially deadly toxic shock syndrome.

A woman called Adara, who was forced to flee her home with her four children, said they “suffer a lot whenever we want to go to the bathroom” and have to “stand in line for a long time”.

With clean running water incredibly sparse in Gaza, people there are falling well short of the 15 litres needed per person per day.


The original article contains 405 words, the summary contains 155 words. Saved 62%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!

We won’t, because that would be antisemitic.

Undeveloped country, in an constant blockade by foreign force, ruled by extremists as sharia dictates, and “West” still make news about women over their menstrual cups like they lost it overnight.

Kills a lotta men, too. But in these propaganda pieces, it’s always “women and children.” Hamas knows what sells, and you’re buying.
