WorldDreams shattered: Gaza amputees struggle under blockade and rubble

Israel’s attacks and the collapse of Gaza’s healthcare system have resulted in about 6,000 amputations, around a quarter involving children. Shurouq Khaira, a 24-year-old athlete who lost her right leg when her home was shelled, struggles to move through a tent, sand and rubble while waiting for a prosthesis and attending physical therapy. Import restrictions have delayed prosthetic materials.
