Gaza's Injured: Future Paralyzed by Stalled Aid, Slow Evacuations

  • Injured Palestinians in Gaza remain in limbo despite a fragile ceasefire, facing limited aid and slow medical evacuations.
  • Thousands of Palestinians, including 5,000-6,000 amputees (25% children), struggle with mobility and access to treatment.
  • Haneen al-Mabhouh, who lost a leg and her four daughters in an airstrike, awaits permission for treatment abroad.
  • A severe shortage of prosthetic limbs and materials has hindered recovery, with a recent shipment being the first significant delivery in two years.
  • Medical evacuations for 16,500 Palestinians needing vital treatment abroad remain slow, averaging only about five per day since the ceasefire.
