According to the report Estimating Trauma Rehabilitation Needs in Gaza, September 2025 Update, life-changing injuries account for one quarter of all reported cases, out of a total of 167,376 people injured since October 2023. More than 5,000 have undergone amputations, the WHO said. The findings, based on a wider data pool, remain consistent with the organisation’s earlier analyses, reported Xinhua.
Complex facial and eye injuries are also prevalent, particularly among those awaiting medical evacuation outside Gaza. These conditions frequently lead to disfigurement, disability, and social stigma.
Meanwhile, Gaza’s health system is nearing collapse. Only 14 of its 36 hospitals remain partially functional. Less than one-third of pre-conflict rehabilitation facilities are operating, with several on the verge of closure. None are fully functional despite the continued efforts of EMTs and health organisations.
“Rehabilitation is vital not only for trauma recovery but also for people with chronic conditions and disabilities, which are not reflected in this report,“ said Richard Peeperkorn, WHO Representative in the occupied Palestinian territory.
WHO reiterated its call for an immediate ceasefire. “The people of Gaza deserve peace, the right to health and care, and a chance to heal,“ the report stated -BERNAMA-XINHUA
