Israel kills over 60 Gazans in 24 hours as thousands of kids traumatized by amputations
The Health Ministry in Gaza says more than 60 Palestinians have been killed and dozens of others injured in Israeli strikes in the past 24 hours.
In a statement on Friday, the ministry said, “63 martyrs and 227 injured individuals have been admitted to hospitals in the Gaza Strip in the past 24 hours.”
Media reports said 37 of the victims were killed in Gaza City, the strip’s largest city, alone.
One of the strikes conducted by the Israeli regime on Friday targeted tents of displaced people inside the port of Gaza City, leaving at least five children killed and injuring several others.
Israel has launched a genocidal war on Gaza since October 7, 2023, after Palestinian resistance fighters waged the surprise Operation Al-Aqsa Storm against the Zionist entity in response to the regime's decades-long campaign of bloodletting and devastation against Palestinians.
The Israeli regime’s bloody onslaught on the besieged strip has so far killed more than 66,200 Palestinians, mostly women and children, and injured above 169,100 others, according to the health ministry.
1000s of Gaza kids traumatized after amputations
Nearly 42,000 Gazans have suffered “life-changing injuries” since the start of Israel’s genocidal war, the World Health Organization (WHO) said in a new report.
According to the study, approximately 25 percent of the victims are children. Over 5,000 people have had amputations after being injured in Israeli strikes.
“Kids who have lost their limbs suffer from psychological trauma, a stigma that will stick in their brains for the rest of their lives,” Dr. Khamis Elessi, who specializes in neurorehabilitation and algology, told Al Jazeera.
“To add more sorrow to this grim picture, the parents are forced to carry their injured kids and walk 10km (6 miles) fleeing for their lives,” he stated.
