Summary box

  • The burden of menstruation and the unmet needs of menstruating women rise during conflicts.

  • Menstruation in conflict-affected settings is overlooked in humanitarian responses, as evident by the lack of research, documentation, interest and access to appropriate products, facilities and education.

  • This commentary argues that the poor menstruation management in Gaza epitomises the problem and offers practical recommendations for humanitarian and global health organisations.

  • The way forward for global health involves integrating menstruation aid, conducting reliable documentation, enhancing cultural sensitivity and implementing capacity-building programmes.
