Gaza’s Health Ministry said 260 cases of congenital anomalies were recorded among newborns in the first nine months of 2026, compared with 184 cases across all of 2022 and 322 in 2025. Ministry director-general Munir al-Bursh called for an independent scientific investigation into possible contributing factors, including malnutrition, pollutants and disrupted prenatal care. The ministry emphasized that these case counts alone do not establish prevalence among newborns or prove a cause; they are reported counts, not a demonstrated causal link to any particular exposure.
