flag A British study reveals Gaza healthcare workers treated over 30,000 trauma and weapon-related injuries, with severe burns and psychological harm widespread.

flag A British-led study published in The BMJ reveals that healthcare workers in Gaza documented trauma injuries surpassing those in past conflicts, with 23,726 trauma-related cases and 6,960 weapon-related injuries reported between August 2024 and February 2025. flag Explosions caused about two-thirds of injuries, including severe burns—many fourth-degree—especially among children, while firearm wounds frequently affected the legs and head. flag Over a third of obstetric cases involved fetal or maternal death, and psychological trauma was widespread. flag Chronic conditions like malnutrition and sepsis were common, with 4,188 patients needing long-term care. flag Despite data limitations, the study’s scale and severity suggest harm patterns exceed previous modern wars, prompting calls for improved medical surveillance and humanitarian support amid ongoing hostilities and collapsed infrastructure.
