The United Nations has said that Gaza now has the highest number of child amputees per capita in the world, after more than a year of conflict, AFP reports.
“Gaza now has the highest number of children amputees per capita anywhere in the world — many losing limbs and undergoing surgeries without even anaesthesia,” UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres said in remarks read out by his deputy at a Cairo conference aimed to accelerate humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip.
