Gaza IVF Center Strike, 5000 Embryos Destroyed

The facility was the largest of its kind in the region, and the loss represents the end of reproductive hopes for hundreds of Palestinian couples. The story raises complex questions about how these losses are categorized within the conflict's death toll.
