The Middle East Pediatric Orthopaedic Society (MEPOS) has released an urgent statement condemning the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza, particularly the devastating impact on children and healthcare workers.
This statement reflects our deep concern regarding the systematic targeting of medical infrastructure and the tragic injuries inflicted on thousands of children, many of whom now face life-altering musculoskeletal conditions.
