"I don’t think there is a country in the world that is lacking the basics in Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs, which are security, safety and food. Our pregnant women are lacking, we are not talking about big dreams. Women are only dreaming of one thing: a safe pregnancy that they can survive with the baby and end up safe. Now the women are facing catastrophic conditions that are continuously deteriorating. They lack the basics of life."

STORYLINE:
Nearly seven months pregnant, Yasmine Siam couldn’t sleep, living in a crowded tent camp in Gaza and shaken often by Israeli bombardment.
She couldn’t find proper food and hadn’t eaten meat for more than a month. Weak and losing weight, she saw doctors every day. There was little they could do.
One night this month, pain shot through her. She worried labor was starting, but was too terrified of gunfire to leave her tent.
