2000 Gaza kids lose legs
The Citizen|June 29, 2024
There is little Gaza's doctors can do to alleviate the pain that three-year-old Suhaib Khuzaiq still feels from a shrapnel injury that caused his leg to be amputated above the knee in December.

"He is in pain and in need of painkillers and a prosthetic limb that is only available outside Gaza," his father Ali Khuzaiq, 31, said from Gaza City's Al-Ahli hospital, where Suhaib is treated.

On 6 December, an Israeli air strike on their neighbourhood of Tal Al-Hawa, southwest of Gaza City, injured Suhaib and destroyed their home, Khuzaiq said.

The war and Israel's blockade have caused a shortage of medicines and destroyed much of Gaza's medical capacity.

As a result, amputations have become a way of handling injuries that in other circumstances might have been treated differently, causing their number to soar further.
