"Key takeaways from the WHO’s new injury report
As we just reported, the WHO has released a new report outlining the number and types of injuries across Gaza since the start of Israel’s war on the enclave.
Here are some key takeaways:
More than 167,000 Palestinians have been wounded in Gaza since October 2023.
Nearly 42,000 people – representing nearly 2 percent of the population – have “life-changing” injuries. More than 10,000 children are among those injured, amounting to about one-quarter of all the injuries.
Fewer than 14 of Gaza’s 36 hospitals remain partly functional while less than one-third of rehabilitation services that existed before the war are still operating. Several face imminent closure.
While pre-war Gaza had roughly 1,300 physiotherapists and 400 occupational therapists, many have been displaced and at least 42 have been killed."
