Disabled twins in Gaza face an uncertain medical future as movement restrictions prevent them from leaving the territory to receive specialized care they require, We Are Not Numbers reported. The children's condition may render them unable to walk, yet they remain blocked from accessing treatment available outside Gaza.
The case illustrates a wider crisis affecting disabled children across the territory. Families struggle to obtain the necessary permits and resources to transport children requiring advanced medical intervention beyond Gaza's borders. Many children remain trapped with untreated or worsening conditions that could be managed with proper care. The restrictions on exit have created barriers that medical need alone cannot overcome.
