Children with amputations in Gaza

UNICEF have estimated so far that more than 1,000 children in Gaza have had one or both of their legs amputated since the start of the war between Israel and Hamas.

Savethechildren have added to that, that more on average than 10 children per day, lose one or both of their legs in Gaza since the conflict erupted three months ago, said Save the Children.

Since 7th of October when the war began,more than 1,000 children have had one or both legs amputated, according to UNICEF. Many of these surgeries on children were done without anaesthetic, with the healthcare system in Gaza crippled by the conflict, while major shortages of doctors and nurses are reported along with medical supplies like anaesthesia and antibiotics almost nowhere to be found, according to the World Health Organization (WHO).
