Khaberni - -The Ministry of Health in the Gaza Strip said there are 6,000 recorded amputation cases in need of urgent and long-term rehabilitation programs.
The ministry added in a statement today, Tuesday, that it estimates the proportion of children among the total amputation cases at 25%, and the percentage of women at 12.7%, explaining that the lack of medical facilities and auxiliary tools increases the suffering of people with limb amputations.
