The documentary also features Dr. Ghassan Abu-Sittah, a British-Palestinian surgeon, who says he performed more amputations in 43 days in Gaza than in his entire 20-year career as a surgeon. In the clip here he talks about the importance of continuing to “plan for tomorrow. Because genocide is about there not being a tomorrow. There is a tomorrow for these children.”

Save the Children reports: Every day, 10 children lose one or both legs, with operations and amputations conducted with little or no anaesthesia due to Israel’s continuing siege.
Experts believe Gaza may have the largest cohort of child amputees in modern war history relative to its population.
