DESCRIPTION:Zoom\nhttps://Tinyurl.com/VFHL-November2025\n\nThe Gaza Strip has one of 
 the highest rates of traumatic amputations in the world. Since Oct. 7, 
 2023, Israeli bullets and bombs have resulted in more than 4,800 limb 
 amputations; an estimated 10 children per day are losing one or both legs. 
 Palestinians in the West Bank also are experiencing an elevated rate of 
 amputation due to the violence of the occupation there, including handcuff 
 injuries for detainees. \n\nThe panel discussion will focus on the causes 
 of the appallingly high rate of amputations, including from deliberate IDF 
 policies to target limbs, and on the long-term physical and mental health 
 prognoses for people living with amputation. Importantly, panelists will 
 also address what activists can do to reduce the root causes of 
 amputations, support recovery, and redress the injustice.\n\nWatch the 
 curated videos at your convenience before the event. Then join us with your
