    Don’t forget anesthetics. Over 1000 kids have undergone amputations without anesthetics.

    Israel is deliberately making 1000 children feel the horrifying pain of having their arm/leg sawn off without any painkillers.

        From two months ago:

        GAZA: More than 10 children a day lose a limb in three months of brutal conflict

        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, with the healthcare system in Gaza crippled by the conflict, and major shortages of doctors and nurses, and medical supplies like anaesthesia and antibiotics,

        With 10 a day that’s another 600 since January, and those 600 child amputations are almost certainly without anesthetics since israel banned them.
