Around half of Gaza's 2.3 million people have been crowded into Rafah after fleeing other parts of the enclave during seven months of war. Other hospitals in the city, like Abu Youssef al-Najjar Hospital, have for months been admitting war wounded and directing women in labour to Emirati. But since the latest escalation of the war, he said, some women in Rafah had begun going to field hospitals in Rafah operated by charities including the International Medical Corps.UNFPA has also recently brought in"mobile maternity services" to Rafah, though some of the UN agency's equipment had prior to this week been stuck at the border crossing with Egypt, he added.
