The paediatric war wounds Dr Abu Sittah tries to heal in Lebanon

In his Beirut office, Dr Ghassan Abu Sittah is going over his operating list for the weekend: 11 children in total, with life-altering injuries from Israel’s wars on Lebanon and Gaza.

“There are two siblings who have shrapnel from the 2024 war that is now causing medical problems,” the prominent British-Palestinian plastic and reconstructive surgeon told Middle East Eye.

“A boy with a partial amputation of his foot that needs reconstruction, from this war, and another boy with an amputation.”

Dr Abu Sittah hopes to finish the stump so that the patient can begin prosthetic rehabilitation.

Another boy with an elbow injury needs a prolonged reconstructive procedure to salvage his elbow joint.
