Charitable initiative sends mobile units to aid Gazan amputees [GETTY]

Thousands of Gazans who lost their limbs due to Israel's war on the enclave will be receiving prosthetic limbs.

Sky News reports that the Jordan-led initiative involves UK-based companies Koalaa and Amparo, both of which have developed "easy-to-fit" sockets for upper and lower limb prosthetics.

The doctors are aiming to fit a functioning prosthetic every hour. The initiative had two mobile clinics enter Gaza on Monday, aiming to help 14,000 amputees.

Brigadier General Mustafa al Hiyari, from the Jordanian Armed Forces, told Sky News that those who cannot reach the hospital will go to the vans.

Each limb will be registered digitally, which will allow specialist doctors based in Jordan's capital, Amman, to do remote follow-up procedures.

Each fitting will cost around £1,000.

Israel's war on Gaza has led to an amputation crisis, with 70 to 80 percent of those being admitted to hospitals having lost a limb or suffered an injury to their spinal cord.

The majority of amputees from Gaza are unable to leave the enclave to seek treatment elsewhere.

More than 41,000 Palestinians have been killed during Israel's war on the Palestinian territory, with just over 95,000 injured.

The World Health Organization (WHO) estimated at least a quarter of all those injured in the war up to 23 July, constituting around 22,500 people, had suffered "life-changing injuries", many requiring amputations and rehabilitation needed for years to come.

Almost 1,000 children in Gaza have lost one or both of their legs, which is equivalent to 10 children losing a limb every day, according to UNICE

Poster Comment:

Israel has been stopping food, water and medications to Gaza so many amputations on chidden are done without anesthetics.
