- On Friday, UN Women reported that over 38,000 women and girls died in Gaza between October 2023 and December 2025, marking a significantly higher proportion of female deaths than in previous regional conflicts.

- Data indicates the toll includes at least 22,000 women and 16,000 girls, with nearly 11,000 injured, while the World Health Organisation reports over 500,000 women lack access to crucial antenatal and postnatal services.
- The UN children's agency UNICEF announced on Friday that children continue to suffer fatalities at an alarming rate, with at least 214 deaths reported in the past six months despite the ceasefire.
