Amputees in Gaza: A Cautionary Tale of Humanitarian Crisis and Technological Injustice The war in Gaza has left over 73,000 Palestinians dead since its inception.
Among the countless victims are thousands of amputees, forced to navigate a treacherous landscape of rubble strewn streets and inadequate medical care.
Around 6,000 amputations have taken place in Gaza since the war began, with more than a quarter involving children. The Israeli blockade on Gaza severely limits imports, including medical supplies and prosthetic limbs.
