Military controls, difficulties in accessing medical facilities and settler violence are marking the pregnancies of some women in the occupied West Bank. Delays in crossing a checkpoint or the impact of an attack can prevent a pregnant woman from receiving medical care on time and, in some cases, end up in a spontaneous abortion. Janira Gómez's report for France 24.
