WAM

UAE Floating Hospital in Egypt's Al Arish has provided prosthetic limbs to 21 Palestinians as it helps those injured in the Gaza conflict rebuild their lives.

The patients undergo medical and technical assessments, and are fitted with limbs based on their measurements.

They will also undergo physiotherapy and mobility rehabilitation.

This is part of the 'Step of Hope' programme, launched in June under Operation Chivalrous Knight 3, to assist Palestinians who have suffered amputations in the war. 

So far, the programme has helped 72 Palestinians.
