Large number of child amputees arrive at hospitals daily in Gaza: UK doctor

A British doctor who has visited the besieged Gaza Strip three times since 7 October, 2023, said her third visit was by far the worst where a large number of children arrived at the hospital with amputated limbs every day, the Times reported. “First there’s the six-year-old girl whose left cheek and shoulder were amputated, then the two-year-old girl, the infant, the three-year-old orphan boy, the four-year-old boy, and the eleven-year-old boy who lost all nine of his siblings,” Dr Victoria Ross said. The 53-year-old doctor said most of the cases she dealt with were wounded civilians due to explosions that injured young children, including the amputation of arms, legs, and hands.
