2% of Gaza left disabled
Human rights sources reported that around 2% of Gaza’s population have sustained permanent disabilities as a result of the war. More than 22,000 people have suffered serious limb injuries, and over 5,000 have undergone amputations. Around 83% of those injured are being denied prosthetic and assistive devices, while more than 50,000 people need rehabilitation and 18,500 patients and wounded people require urgent medical evacuation. A human rights center warned that the collapse of treatment and rehabilitation services, along with restrictions on the entry of medical supplies, risk turning treatable injuries into permanent disabilities. It called for border crossings to be opened and evacuations facilitated.
