Number of amputees set to rise in Gaza as Israel blocks aid, NGO warns

What Happened

Humanity & Inclusion UK warns that amputations in Gaza reached unprecedented levels, with WHO estimating 5,000-6,000 amputees as of October 2025. The NGO cautions numbers could rise further as Israel restricts medical aid access. At conflict's height, reportedly ten children daily underwent leg amputations. Gaza now faces among globally highest conflict-related amputation rates per capita.
