Now I feel happiness and freedom,\u201d he says, grinning afterwards. Rizeq is one of the first of thousands of wounded Palestinians who should receive new prosthetic limbs from Jordanian doctors using state-of-the-art British technology. Warning: This report contains graphic details of injuries<\/p>\n<p>Displaced to Rafah, he was wounded by Israeli tank fire as he left Friday prayers in June. With his leg amputated, the blacksmith could no longer work and was feeling desperate. \u201cI lost my whole life: my job and my hope,\u201d Rizeq says. \u201cThere was no one to take care of my wife and baby. I even needed help to use the toilet.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The human cost of Israel\u2019s destructive year-long war in Gaza is measured not just in lives lost but in lives changed forever. After analysing emergency medical data, the UN\u2019s World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that at least 94,000 people are injured. More than 24,000 people \u2013 one in every 100 Gazans \u2013 has a life-changing injury. These include serious burns, trauma to the head and spine and limb amputations.<\/p>\n<p>At the same time, it has become virtually impossible to leave Gaza for medical treatment and only 16 out of 36 hospitals are functional. Rehabilitation services are heavily disrupted. The WHO says just 12% of equipment needed for injured people &#8211; such as wheelchairs and crutches &#8211; is available.<\/p>\n<p>The Jordanian programme uses innovative prosthetics from two British firms, Koalaa and Amparo. They have easy-to-fit sockets and a new direct moulding technique for lower limbs, which avoid month of waiting and multiple fittings.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/articles\/c624zz6m1kvo\">Read more&gt;&gt;<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/articles\/c624zz6m1kvo\">BBC<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/vaufien\/easy-fit-prosthetics-offer-hope-to-thousands-of-gaza-amputees\/\">Easy-fit prosthetics offer hope to thousands of Gaza amputees<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[16865,3444,606,607,608],"class_list":["post-135230","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-easy-fit-prosthetics","tag-gaza","tag-vau_viikkokatsaus","tag-vauen","tag-vaufien"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/135230","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=135230"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/135230\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=135230"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=135230"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=135230"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
