The amputee crisis in the war on Gaza | The Stream

Amputees in Gaza are at risk of fatal complications because of a lack of proper medical treatment, according to Doctors Without Borders (known by its French acronym MSF). The majority of the amputations being performed would have be preventable under normal circumstances.
According to the Ministry of Health in Gaza, more than 86,969 people have been injured in Israel’s war on the enclave, with at least 12,000 estimated to be children, many suffering irreversible injuries.
The United Nations childrens Fund (UNICEF) says that between October and January, at least 1,000 children lost one or both legs. Many of these amputations were performed without anaesthesia, underscoring the dire medical conditions in Gaza.
In this episode we explore how these amputees navigate life amid a collapsed medical system and continuing genocide, raising questions about their futures and aspirations.
Presenter: Anelise Borges
Guests:
Yassin Al Ghalban - 11-year-old amputee
Sobhi Soboh - Palestine Children's Relief Fund
Dr James Smith - Emergency physician
Karim Ali - Gaza Sunbirds co-founder

I really appreciate the hope Sobhi brought as he is a successful person who is an amputee. Beautiful. I'm so glad there are compassionate and strong people out there helping amputees reintegrate into society and bringing them hope.

Bad men need nothing more to compass their ends, than that good men should look on and do nothing. He is not a good man who, without a protest, allows wrong to be committed in his name, and with the means which he helps to supply, because he will not trouble himself to use his mind on the subject.” John Stuart Mill
