NGO Warns Gaza Amputee Numbers Set to Rise Sharply as Israel's Aid Blockade Depletes Surgical Supplies

An NGO warned on April 24, 2026, that the number of amputees in Gaza is set to rise sharply as Israel's ongoing aid blockade depletes surgical supplies and prosthetics. The continued restriction of medical equipment and supplies into Gaza has left hospitals unable to perform adequate limb-saving surgeries, forcing more amputations. The crisis highlights the severe humanitarian toll of the blockade on Gaza's civilian population.
