In the local area, concerns are being raised about the challenges faced by breastfeeding women. Malnutrition is a significant issue, particularly in northern Gaza, where pregnant and breastfeeding women are being diagnosed with high rates of malnutrition. Difficulties in breastfeeding are being reported, with some mothers resorting to alternative feeding methods due to lack of support and resources.

Limited access to healthcare and poor living conditions are exacerbating the problem. Further information on the situation is available from Save the Children and its partners, who are working to address the issue. A recent UN report provides additional details on the challenges faced by breastfeeding women in the area.
