A recent report published in The Lancet reveals the extent of injuries treated by Medecins Sans Frontieres in Gaza, with nearly half of outpatient wounds attributed to bombs and bullets. Data from six health centers shows that almost a third of those treated for violent trauma were children, and another third were women, underscoring the severe impact on civilians. Explosive weapons have caused the majority of lower-limb wounds, often resulting in complex injuries that are difficult to treat due to a lack of medical supplies and equipment. The blockade imposed earlier this year has further strained Gaza's healthcare system, which has already seen half its hospitals close and over 1,500 healthcare workers killed. The report highlights that the scale of physical and mental damage in Gaza would overwhelm even the most robust health systems.
