"A broken leg here in the US is not the same as a broken leg in Gaza. A broken leg in Gaza means you are most likely going to have that leg amputated, which means you are most likely going to get an infection...which most likely means you are going to die" Dr. Tareq Hailat, Head of PCRF’s Treatment Abroad Program, reveals the dire situation for wounded Palestinian children in Gaza. The lack of medical equipment and medications is hindering the recovery of even minor injuries, resulting in the loss of limbs for many. This crisis is a direct consequence of Israel's blockade on aid and medications, compounded by the deliberate destruction of Gaza’s hospitals. Many hospitals have been turned into military bases after attacks, leading to the deaths of patients who were either forced to die or killed, with their bodies buried in mass graves.
