Women in Gaza are being traded for food and forced into marriages with their rapists, according to a pair of reports from the United Nations — underscoring the critical importance of President Trump’s Board of Peace in the war-torn enclave.
There was a 123% increase in the number of early and forced marriage incidents across Gaza in the first quarter of 2026, with women between the ages of 18-59 suffering 68% of all gender-based violence (GBV) in the Palestinian enclave, the United Nations’ Population Fund (UNFPA) found.
Researchers spoke to women who said young girls were married off to rapists, traded for food or given up by guardians who did not want to take care of them amid the humanitarian crisis caused by the Israel-Hamas war.
“The second highest form of GBV reported was psychological and emotional violence, followed by physical violence, sexual violence, and forced and early marriage,” the researchers wrote.
“These trends are attributed to heightened stress felt by women and men forced to live in inadequate and overcrowded shelters and continued limited access to basic resources including food, water, basic hygiene materials and clothing.”
The second report highlighted some of the most distressing incidents inside refugee camps in Gaza City and Khan Younis, where 230 women shared their stories.
One refugee living in a school-turned shelter said that rape victims are often forced to marry their rapists to avoid shame and scandal.
“When rape cases are discovered in schools, you find weddings and celebrations at the school the next day,” she said.

So, is this a claim by the UN, or is the colon there to list that their rapists are in the UN.
I think in Islam this is called a Tuesday.
90 percent of Gaza IS Hamas so I could really care less
Right.
They had an election and voted for Hamas to lead them in Gaza. Smart, reaaaaal smart.
44% plurality under the voting rules meant proportional seats won in the legislature for Hamas to lead the government. A plurality system, sort of like the California primaries.
Well, yeah. Same as London, Berlin, Paris, Kabul, Riyadh, and Dearborn. What's the common denominator?
Entirely typical of Islam and reportedly quite common in Pakistan.
It’s a Religion of Peace™️ - George W. Bush
Psychological violence — Islam
Emotional violence — Islam
Physical violence — Islam
Sexual violence — Islam
Forced marriage — Islam
Early marriage — Islam
If only we had some clue as to what was causing all those problems.

Don’t worry
The United Nations will blame Benjamin Netanyahu
As if they kept track during Hezbollah.
I’ll take two Big Macs, a large fry and a Super Size coke for her.
Tuesday?
Hah. You’re not wrong.
Sunday through Wednesday is to display piety.
Thursday is for Bacha Bazi to rape little boys.
Friday is the holy day when allah forgives you for all the stuff you did Thursday night. And go blow yourself up or kill people.
Saturday is when you bury the martyrs that were killed yesterday.
Repeat, ad infinitum.
UN controlling the op. They have a history in trafficking humans.
Pretty sure this was the norm in Gaza long before Hamas attacked Israel and started the war.
Just sounds like normal islam to me. With, of course, the author trying to blame us and israel.
If a muslim takes a fancy to a young Christian girl, he will kidnap and rape her. Once raped, under sharia, she belongs to the rapist. In Pakistan, Afghanistan, India, and other places, the rapist will threaten the father of the girl unless he gives her up in marriage.
If a Christian does not give his daughter to marriage, his house will be destroyed, his business will be burned to the ground, and all his family killed. By muslims.
No wonder they keep their girls behind walls and don't let them walk on the streets. This is the life of women in islam.
I expect animals will do this.
It is in their nature.
You missed the days they have sex with animals.
