## Key points

- Rights group says travel restrictions block children’s access to treatment abroad.
- 1,134 children in Gaza have undergone limb amputations, it reports.
- Only 500 of 2,300 assessed amputees received permanent prosthetics.

## Summary

Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor says Israeli travel restrictions are preventing children in Gaza who have lost limbs from reaching specialised treatment abroad. The group warns that the lack of care and rehabilitation could cause lasting pain, mobility problems and disruption to children’s education.

The organisation reported that 1,134 children in Gaza had undergone limb amputations due to Israeli attacks. WHO data cited in the article show that 2,300 adults and children were assessed for treatment between September 2024 and May 2026, but only 500 received permanent prosthetics; Gaza currently has eight certified prosthetics and orthotics professionals. The group also says restrictions limit equipment imports and access for specialist teams, and accuses Israel of war crimes.
