Gaza *Ayesha’s young girl said, “Sometimes I need more pads and soaps than I eat.” Stru Tusrub Health is a serious problem that is often ignored in the event of crisis:
There is a severe monthly health shortage with sanitary pads because of the ban on providing assistance in Gaza.
About 90 percent of the water and healthy structures in Gaza are either destroyed or partially damaged. The fuel required for water pumping and distribution is also fatal.
9 out of every 10 are now fighting the deep water crisis. Due to the lack of clean water, soap, money or privacy, women and girls are now forced to spend the day of the stru tumrab. To many women, the stru tusrub is now the cause of anxiety and solitude.
A young girl in Gaza said “My Stru Tusrub crowds started in a crowd of a crowd i
There are about 7 million women and girls in Gaza at this time. Thousands of them are experienced in their first stru tusrub – it is also in the midst of bombing, in the dirty and tight displacement camp, without any privacy.

Basic human rights violation
A doctor told the United Nations Sex and Breeding Organization (UNFPA), “I see women fighting in abusive circumstances like strau tusrub, pregnancy and delivery every day. As a woman I feel deeply. This experience should be natural, not pain and hassle.”
Due to the protection, the doctor kept my name secret, “I see the strength of women in the eyes of women, but at the same time the pain of deep pain and dignity is taken.”
“Women and girls are the most sensitive situations during emergency conditions. I know how difficult it is to face the stru tumrb without sanitary pad.”
Severe deficit
About one million sanitary pads are needed in Gaza every month, but only 25 percent of it is available.
Many women and girls are forced to use old clothing, torn clothing or sponge and re -use them not washed properly.
A father, who was displaced from Jabalia in northern Gaza, said, “I tear my eclip shirt and gave my girls so that they could use them instead of pads.”
These temporary remedies are not only painful and abusive, but it is also dangerous. It can be the risk of infection of the reproductive system, sexually transmitted disease, urinary tract infection.
All these efforts can lead to complexity related to maternity. Thousands of women are expected to suffer these problems in Gaza and due to extreme health system, these women are mostly difficult to treat.
Another girl said, “There is no privacy here. For a change or bath, I just need to wait a few hours in the bathroom’s queue. The other girl said,” I use a piece of my clothes instead of pad … and I got infection. “
Its mental stress is no less scary. Women and girls speak, shame, fear of bleeding and endless anxiety. A teenager shared his pain and said, “Every time my Stru Tusrub comes, I think I hope I was not a girl.”
