Gaza officials say 6,000 amputees lack access to medical care
The Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza on Tuesday said that 6,000 amputation cases registered in the Ministry of Health require urgent rehabilitation.
The ministry, in a statement, said that children make up 25 percent of the total number of amputation cases, while women account for 12.7 percent.
"The shortage of medical resources and assistive devices is worsening the suffering of the wounded who have lost limbs," the statement said.
The ministry urged international organisations to make urgent interventions to meet the needs of the wounded, amid a deepening humanitarian catastrophe in the Gaza Strip.
