The Turkish Red Crescent says it has helped an elderly Palestinian man in Gaza walk again after providing him with a new prosthetic limb, following the confiscation of his original prosthetic, according to the organization.
The aid group did not provide further detail on the circumstances in which the prosthetic was taken, nor on the man's identity or current condition.
A wider toll of amputations
The Palestinian Health Ministry and the International Committee of the Red Cross have recorded more than 6,000 amputations in Gaza since the war between Israel and Hamas began, according to figures cited by the Turkish Red Crescent.
Humanitarian organizations operating in Gaza have repeatedly pointed to shortages of medical supplies, including materials needed for prosthetics and rehabilitation, as a persistent challenge amid the ongoing conflict.
The Israeli military has not publicly commented on the specific incident involving the confiscated prosthetic described by the Turkish Red Crescent.
Aid groups continue to call for expanded access to Gaza to deliver medical equipment and rehabilitation support to people injured during the war.
