Surgeons speak on tiny shrapnel fragments that leave minimal external wounds but cause significant internal damage in Gaza’s children.

Israeli-made missiles and shells packed with additional metal, designed to spray high levels of shrapnel cause horrific injuries to children in places packed with civilians in the besieged territory.

These extensive and severe wounds caused by “fragmentation” shrapnel, which experts believe is intended to maximise casualties causing severe injuries to Gaza children.

… the typical wounds as having one or two millimeter entry and exit points, with internal damage likened to bones being demolished by a tractor trailer.

“About half of the injuries I took care of were in young kids. We saw a lot of so-called splinter injuries that were very, very small to the point that you easily missed them while examining a patient. Much, much smaller than anything I’ve seen before, but they caused tremendous damage on the inside,” Sidhwa explained.
