The United Nations agency promoting gender equality reported that women and children are the main victims of the Israel-Hamas war, with an estimated 16,000 killed and 3,000 women possibly becoming widows. The agency highlighted the gender inequality and burden on women fleeing the fighting, with close to one million women and girls seeking shelter and safety. UN Women called for a humanitarian cease-fire, immediate release of hostages, and more aid to reach Gaza, emphasizing the need for peace and justice for all affected.
