What being a woman in Gaza means in this genocidal war?

Women in Gaza are surviving the unsurvivable.

They are managing daily food scarcity while caring for their children under conditions of absolute deprivation; although a ceasefire stipulation, Israel continues to block tents and caravans, among other critical winter aid.

Women in Gaza continue to navigate repeated displacement, packing and unpacking their families’ lives over and over again under heavy bombardment.

They are caring not only for their own children, but also for the injured, the elderly, and the orphaned.

Above all, they carry the invisible but crushing emotional labour of holding families together through grief, terror, uncertainty and unrelenting loss amid unprecedented destruction.
