INTRODUCTION Pediatric surgical interventions may represent more than one-third of the surgical caseload in humanitarian settings.1 The humanitarian crisis in Gaza has taken a devastating toll on children,many of whom have suffered injuries due to indiscriminate and heavy bombardment,resulting in severe polytraumatic injuries necessitating immediate and specialized pediatric surgical intervention.The conflict has strained the region's fragile healthcare system,resulting in a significant number of casualties,a substantial proportion of which are children.This exacerbates the demand for specialized pediatric surgical care,especially when the existing healthcare system and infrastructure has nearly collapsed and is under-resourced to handle the influx of pediatric patients.2 The urgency for specialized pediatric surgical care and support for children in Gaza cannot be overstated.Access to healthcare in Palestine has been an ongoing challenge.
