Incredibly important report showing data on injuries and rehabilitation needs in #Gaza.

Data for the analysis was collected using the Emergency Medical Team Minimum Data Set - part of work by the WHO Emergency Medical Team secretariat, to strengthen operational responses to emergencies bit.ly/4eil669
