I'm seeking an official statement from #WarAmpsCanada on their stance on #Palestine because the #genocide & #EthnicCleansing has created the most #amputees in the world. I have not been able to get good search results trying to find this info on non-AI DuckDuckGo.

Life as an amputee

Young Abu, seven, buttons his father’s collar in the family’s shelter in the amputee camp, northwest of Freetown, Sierra Leone. Abu Bakarr Kargbo, 31, was one of the thousands of amputees afflicted by the Revolutionary United Front’s atrocities during the civil war that devastated the country from 1991 until 2002.
