The recent conflict in Gaza has resulted in significant civilian casualties and a dire humanitarian situation, as reported by various UN agencies and medical professionals. Ignoring the UN Security Council's demand for an immediate ceasefire during Ramadan has led to further casualties, including a significant number of children. UNICEF reported that overnight, after the resolution was passed, a double-digit number of children were killed. The conflict, ongoing since October, has severely impacted Gaza's healthcare system, with hospitals in north Gaza desperately needing fuel, medical supplies, and staff. According to UNICEF, 13,750 children have now been killed in Gaza. The UN estimates that 1,000 children in Gaza have become amputees since the conflict began, marking the largest cohort of pediatric amputees in history. Dr. Ghassan Abu Sittah highlighted the systematic destruction of Gaza's health system by Israeli forces, noting that half of the wounded are children. The situation has led to a generation of traumatized child amputees, with more than 10 children having one or both legs amputated every day since October.
