"Gaza's Children: Facing Trauma, Starvation, and Loss of Limbs Amid Dire Health Crisis"
TL;DR
More than 10 children in Gaza are losing their legs every day since October 7, with many amputations performed without anesthesia, as a result of the dire humanitarian situation following Israeli bombardment. Aid groups warn of a health crisis affecting young children, with cases of diarrhea rising 50% in a week and nearly 90% of Gaza's population forcibly displaced. UNICEF also highlights a triple threat to children in Gaza, including malnutrition, disease, and poor hygiene conditions, while the UN's top emergency relief official warns of famine and a public health disaster unfolding in the region.
