Estimating Trauma Rehabilitation Needs in Gaza using Injury Data from Emergency Medical Teams [1]

[]

Date: 2024-09

Overview

This technical note provides evidence-based insights on the number and distribution of conflict-related injuries by type in Gaza since October 2023. This exercise is a crucial aspect of planning for a surge in rehabilitation-related services in the Strip, as it will be used as a resource for effective allocation of resources, timely response, and comprehensive care for affected individuals. It will support decision-making on acute trauma care needs. Accurate injury estimates contribute to long-term health planning and policy-making, including support for rehabilitation services. By using estimates of conflict-related injuries, stakeholders can better address the physical, psychological, and social needs of survivors, ultimately fostering resilience and recovery in post-conflict communities in Gaza.
