Palestinians develop makeshift prosthetics to help amputees

As Israel continues its intense bombardment of the Gaza Strip, the number of wounded Palestinians is increasing rapidly. Two Palestinian therapists are now making prosthetic limbs out of scrap wood to help amputees in the besieged enclave.


Bodies recovered from destroyed UNRWA building in Khan Younis

The Palestine Red Crescent Society (PRCS) says its teams have helped in recovering bodies from under an industrial building in the southern Gaza city of Khan Younis previously destroyed by Israeli forces.

The PRCS said the building belonged to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA). The bodies found were of people who had been displaced and sought refuge in the building, which was besieged and attacked by Israeli forces.

“This mission is the first of its kind for the PRCS,” the group said in a post on X. “An ambulance designated for mortuary management was utilised, and participants wore special attire for the operation, adhered to the protocol for such interventions, and documented the recovery and transfer of seven bodies.”
