Surgeons volunteering in Gaza have reported catastrophic injuries among children caused by Israeli-made weapons designed to maximise shrapnel dispersion, resulting in severe casualties, according to The Guardian on Thursday.

Doctors at Gaza’s European Hospital and Al-Aqsa Hospital described numerous operations in which children were injured by tiny fragments of shrapnel, often leaving barely visible entry points but causing extensive internal damage.
These weapons, they say, appear to be intentionally designed to increase the number of casualties, according to Amnesty International.
“About half of the injuries I took care of were in young kids,” said Feroze Sidhwa, a trauma surgeon from California who worked at the European Hospital in southern Gaza in April.
