Good morning to readers; #Kyiv remains in Ukrainian hands.
The war has reshaped every aspect of life in #Ukraine, including #dating.
#Amputations are now seen by many as a sign of bravery, while patriotism and the language somebody speaks now play a decisive role in compatibility.
Help Malak and thousands of children walk again.
The Artificial Limbs and Polio Center, operated by Gaza City Municipality, is the only facility providing free artificial limbs in the Gaza Strip right now. Your support can give a child the chance to walk again.
This campaign is administered directly by municipal officials in Gaza City.

80 percent of amputations performed in Gaza are on children
Dr Bara Zuhaili
The Guardian spoke to six foreign #doctors who have worked at two hospitals in #Gaza, the European and al-Aqsa, in the last three months:
»The doctors say many of the #deaths, #amputations and life changing wounds to #children they have treated came from the firing of missiles and shells – in areas crowded with civilians – packed with additional metal designed to fragment into tiny pieces of #shrapnel.
Volunteer doctors at two Gaza #hospitals said that a majority of their operations were on children hit by small pieces of shrapnel that leave barely discernible entry wounds but create extensive destruction inside the body.«

Wound-dependent leg amputations to combat infections in an ant #society

“this #study provides the first example of the use of #amputations to treat infected individuals in a non-human #animal and demonstrates that #ants can adapt their type of #treatment depending on the location of wounds”
Ants perform life saving #operations — the only animal other than humans known to do so
Florida #ants perform #amputations and clean wounds to prevent the spread of #infection, scientists discover.
Also an African ant can treat infected wounds with an #antimicrobial substance produced in their gland.

More than 10 children per day, on average, have lost one or both of their legs in Gaza since the start of the war.
Guerre de Palestine
🔴 Des enfants sont amputés d'une ou deux jambes chaque jour
🔸 « En gros, nous avons tous les jours 10 enfants qui perdent une ou deux jambes en moyenne. Dix par jour, ça veut dire environ 2000 enfants après plus de 260 jours de cette guerre brutale. »

#Children in #Palestine are suffering so much, just trying to get essential #MedicalHelp & much needed #surgeries & #amputations - all while being displaced, homeless, starving & being bombed while trying to find safe refuge. These are brave kids - forced to be brave to survive.
I don't care what your political beliefs are at this point. This is all so wrong & evil, on multiple levels. If you're not speaking up against these kind of evil horrors, you simply lack humanity & you lack courage too.
"I saw my severed hand lying next to me."
More than ten children per day, on average, have lost one or both of their legs in Gaza since Israel launched its genocidal bombing campaign on the Strip three months ago, said Save the Children.
Since 7 October, more than 1,000 children have had one or both legs amputated, according to UNICEF. Many of these operations on children were done without anaesthetic.

#SpaceX is moving #fast and #breaking things. When #employees needed to transport foam insulation on a truck, they didn't have any tie-downs. So Lonnie LeBlanc (#USMC ret.) volunteered to sit on it.
If fell off the truck and killed him.
#OSHA learned that SpaceX had no policies for transporting cargo.
In addition to deaths, there have been other life-altering #injuries, including, but not limited to, 8 #amputations, 17 #hand and #finger #crush injuries, head wounds, 4 #electrocution injuries, and more, detailed by #Reuters.
This is how #SpaceX is so " #cheap " in comparison to heritage shops: they hire new, #excited, #driven people, and then push them through the #grinder until they have nothing left to give and then throw them away.
