🇵🇸 Over 1,000 children in Gaza have limbs amputated, Unicef says | Middle East Eye –
More than 1,000 children in Gaza have had one or more limbs amputated since the Israeli onslaught on the besieged area began on 7 October, with many undergoing the procedure without anaesthetic, the United Nations Children’s Fund (Unicef) revealed last week.
James Elder, a Unicef spokesperson, who recently returned from the besieged enclave, reported that the few remaining hospitals in Gaza are overwhelmed with children and their parents, all of whom are bearing “the ghastly wounds of war”. He said that many of them were child amputees.
“Not only were they amputated without anaesthesia, but many of them were amputated in a very quick fashion,” Palestinian Children’s Relief Fund (#PCRF) founder Steve Sosebee said in an interview.
