## Caption

There has been a sharp rise in reports of violence against women and girls in the Gaza Strip, including early and forced marriage, according to a series of recent reports from the UN Population Fund.
 
One report says the protracted crisis in war-torn Gaza has "created conditions in which women and girls face escalating risks of gender-based violence".
 
It also warns that there has been a "severe escalation" in the number of early and forced marriage incidents in the second quarter of this year. Both are considered types of gender-based violence by the UN.
