"To find safety from Gaza, you need first to become the victim of a catastrophic injury and then be lucky enough to be identified, selected and extracted.
That's one of the many brutal truths from this long war."

This article is certainly an eye opening read on the failures of those governments who support Israel in their campaign of cruelty. It's very rare for Israel to allow even injured children with multiple limb amputations, to leave Gaza for treatment. I have read previously that despite all the difficult work to organise an evacuation.. in the last minute Israel will just refuse it with no explanation given.

It isn't enough that they torture and murder health care staff, they bomb hospitals, the routinely block medical aid, they constantly bomb residential blocks and safe zones. After all of that only a select few are given permission to leave this living nightmare.

How the lives of the few child amputees allowed to leave Gaza are being rebuilt elsewhere

Sky News' US correspondent Mark Stone has followed the stories of some of the few Palestinians who have left Gaza for medical care.

Horrific. And yet some people still pretend this is somehow justified.

Poor children 😢

Israel routinely blocks medical evacuations of children after bombing and maiming them. Why? Why does Israel block small children from leaving to access the care they need after they brutalise them? These are serious questions that governments including our own need to press on.

Mazyouna’s face was ‘ripped off’ when a rocket hit her home. Israel has refused to allow her evacuation

The 12-year-old is one of 2,500 children in Gaza that need to be evacuated urgently yet humanitarian agencies say few are being allowed to leave by the Israeli authorities

This is Rahaf after Israel bombed her home in Gaza. Only two years old, she is considered as one of the lucky ones who was able to leave Gaza for treatment. Both of her legs amputated not long after she learned to walk.
