Gaza has highest number of child amputees per capita in the world: UN

Gaza now has the highest number of child amputees per capita in the world — many losing limbs and undergoing surgeries without even anesthesia, the head of the UN agency for Palestinian refugees UNRWA said. “WHO estimates that one in four people injured during the war sustained life-changing injuries and will need rehabilitation services, including care for amputations and spinal cords injuries,” Philippe Lazzarini said on X.
