The UN humanitarian coordinator has warned that a lack of health funding in Gaza could mean 1700 people shot by Israeli forces could face amputations in the next few years.
Jamie McGoldrick said 1700 people need serious and complicated surgeries to be able to walk again after being shot at protests in the past year and without surgery, are at risk of needing an amputation.
The UN is seeking $20 million to fill the gap, with 120 amputations already having been carried out in the past year.
