Amputation crisis in conflict zones
New report highlights the catastrophic surge in amputations across Gaza, Syria and Ukraine.

Report Amputation crisis in conflict zones New report highlights the catastrophic surge in amputations across Gaza, Syria and Ukraine.

       The staggering number of amputations in conflict zones is a direct consequence of the use of explosive weapons in densely populated areas. Without immediate humanitarian access and funding for rehabilitation services, we risk condemning an entire generation to unnecessary suffering and disability.

George Graham, Chief Executive Humanity & Inclusion UK

The widespread destruction, combined with a severe shortage of medical supplies and rehabilitation services, is leaving thousands of survivors without access to essential care, prosthetics, and the long-term support that they need.

The widespread destruction, combined with a severe shortage of medical supplies and rehabilitation services, is leaving thousands of survivors without access to essential care, prosthetics, and the long-term support that they need.

Humanity & Inclusion is calling on governments, international donors, and humanitarian agencies to:

1.   Fund emergency and long-term rehabilitation services for conflict survivors.

2.   Ensure safe and unrestricted access to prosthetics, assistive devices, and trained medical staff.

3.   Prioritise rehabilitation in humanitarian response plans

Ben Wallace is wrong: landmines are no defence strategy – just a long-term liability Almost 30 years ago, the world came together in an unprecedented movement to ban the use of landmines.

Almost 30 years ago, the world came together in an unprecedented movement to ban the use of #landmines. Now, governments – and even a former UK defence secretary – are arguing that these terrifying, indiscriminate weapons should be brought back into use. #IMAD2025
