Heal Palestine is organizing lessons for children who lost limbs in the war, giving them activity and support through swimming classes.

  • Palestinian children who have lost limbs since the Israel-Hamas war began in Oct. 2023 are taking swimming lessons in Khan Younis, Gaza, organized by the nonprofit Heal Palestine.
  • Gaza has the world's highest number of child amputees per capita, with an estimated 4,000 children suffering limb-loss injuries since the war began in Oct. 2023.
  • The program in Khan Younis helps young Amputee children rebuild confidence and mobility, providing a physical outlet for those recovering from war injuries.
  • Heal Palestine's initiative addresses urgent needs of Palestinian children, offering a rare opportunity for recreation and rehabilitation for those affected by the Israel-Hamas war.
  • As Gaza continues to face challenges supporting child amputees, ongoing efforts by Heal Palestine remain critical in the war's aftermath for long-term rehabilitation.
