The ongoing Israeli assault on Gaza has caused catastrophic harm to Gaza’s children, with over 1,000 losing limbs; an average of 10 amputations daily, according to UNICEF and Save the Children.

The World Health Organization reported 26,140 severe injuries needing rehabilitation, including 3,100-4,050 amputations, mostly lower limbs.

The UNRWA Commissioner-General, Philippe Lazzarini, confirmed that Gaza now has the highest number of child amputees globally, with many undergoing surgeries without anesthesia due to the healthcare collapse.
