Palestinian health institutions in the Gaza Strip have reported 6,000 amputations since the onset of the Israeli military campaign in late 2023. Children represent a quarter of these cases, while women account for nearly thirteen percent, highlighting the urgent need for long-term rehabilitation and psychosocial support. The lack of medical resources and assistive devices is compounding the challenges faced by amputees and their families. Health officials are urging international organizations to step in and provide critical support, particularly for children living with permanent disabilities. The situation unfolds amid accusations against Israel of genocide and a ceasefire that ended two years of conflict, with tens of thousands of deaths reported, most of them women and children.
