This policy enables Israel to treat Palestinian children as . . ."dangerous and killable bodies needing to be caged and dismembered, physically and mentally". This policy can be seen in all its horror and brutality in the physical dismembering of now over a thousand innocent children. | | The World Health Organisation reports that many of these child amputations are, "done without anaesthetic, with the healthcare system in Gaza crippled by the conflict, and major shortages of doctors and nurses, and medical supplies like anaesthesia and antibiotics".
