Gaza amputees lack care
The Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor said that amputations among children in Gaza, along with obstacles to their treatment and rehabilitation, are worsening their physical and psychological harm. It described this as part of the genocide Israel is accused of perpetrating against Palestinians. As of October 9, 2026, 1,134 cases of amputation among children had been reported. Yet only about 500 of the nearly 2,300 people assessed after amputation had received permanent prosthetic limbs, while there were just eight certified prosthetics and orthotics specialists in the Strip. The Monitor called for restrictions on treatment and medical evacuations to be lifted, and for medical supplies and prosthetic limbs to be allowed in. It also urged the provision of ongoing care and rehabilitation for children and accountability for those responsible for the harm.
