Thousands permanently wounded struggle to survive as Israel threatens renewed war unless Palestinian resistance disarms in 60 days.

Key Developments

• Around 6,000 Palestinians in Gaza live with amputations, a quarter of them children.
• Testimonies describe lifelong physical pain, trauma, and social isolation under siege conditions.
• Israel warns it may resume war if resistance groups refuse to surrender weapons within 60 days.

6,000 Amputations

Inside a Gaza hospital ward, Sajida al-Baba watches her son Rajab relearn how to exist in a body reshaped by war. His fear began with the sound of bombing, but his life changed forever when an Israeli strike hit a school shelter in December 2024.

The attack killed relatives and buried him beneath rubble. Doctors amputated his right leg, treated a skull fracture and removed shrapnel from the other limb. After three days in a coma, he woke into a different struggle — one that did not end with survival.
