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.

I’m sure there is some passage in the Koran thatmakes this OK.
That could be everyday.
Oh my goodness. We had really good cameras on masts in Afghanistan. We could see miles around the FOB. Day, night, all weather. Waaaay out past Fort Mudge.
There used to be a LOT of footage of Afghan shepherds drilling their livestock. Hold the tail, drop the man jammies, do your business, and slap 'em on the butt when you're done.
It's a good thing humans, goats, sheep, and cows, can't interbreed. Otherwise Afghanistan would be ruled by minotaurs.
Are those rapists UN officials, because it wouldn’t be the first or only time UN workers have raped women and children.
What would you do for a Klondike bar?
The Gaza White House AI video showing a future “Riviera” in Gaza… was a fun video. In the mean time, in the real world, Gaza is becoming hell on earth.
In other words, pretty much like the rest of the Islamic world.
This report was issued by the D.N. (Do Nothing)? Amazing! The UN would admit that the poor diddum PALEOstinians are cruel and barbaric? How can this be since 1967 Israel and the Jews are the most evil beings on the planet.
The truth means nothing to the Muslims and Arabs.
” . .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. “ . .

It’s fascinating how those who get their panties in a bunch over past slavery in the United States, couldn’t care less about these examples of modern slavery in Gaza and elsewhere. They want reparations for what is past but won’t lift a finger for those suffering under current conditions.

Yes; yes it is.
