Gaza Doctor Recounts Amputating Child’s Leg Without Anesthesia
August 23, 2026American orthopedic surgeon Dr. Mark Perlmutter shares a devastating account of performing a leg amputation on a five-year-old Palestinian girl in Gaza with zero anesthesia.
As @aljazeeraenglish reports, essential medical supplies completely ran out due to the total siege imposed on the enclave. Doctors resorted to singing to the child to comfort her while she remained fully awake throughout the excruciating procedure.
Surgeries, amputations, and C-sections are routinely performed without anesthesia, painkillers, or basic antiseptics due to blocked medical humanitarian aid.
