Four-month-old Sila is one of 45 babies born recently in #gaza with cleft lip or cleft palate, a condition that prevents normal breastfeeding and requires specialized feeding support that is increasingly difficult to access amid ongoing shortages of medical supplies.
Thanks to the ongoing support of The Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Global Initiatives, the World Health Organization is working to bridge this gap, providing specialized feeding bottles to help these infants receive the nutrition they need to survive and grow.
Needs in Gaza remain immense. Sustained investment in the health system is urgently needed to restore essential services and ensure everyone can access the care they deserve.
