78. Birth and Resilience in Gaza: A Midwife’s View from the Ground

May 2, 2025

For this week’s episode, we sat down for an important conversation with Heba, a midwife who spent six weeks this past summer providing reproductive healthcare in war-torn Gaza. We encourage you to listen to Heba’s stories and insights, as she reflects on her experiences providing essential reproductive healthcare. We sincerely thank Heba for speaking with us.

This episode has a content warning, as descriptions of human conflict including bombing, human suffering, and death are discussed. 

Please note that this conversation was recorded on March 8, 2025. On March 18, 2025 the ceasefire was broken and overnight and over 400 Palestinians were killed, many were children. We encourage you to listen to Heba’s story and to continue seeking out reliable news sources to stay up to date.
