SOUNDBITES: 0.1 SOUNDBITE (in Arabic) Mahmoud Skik STORYLINE: Palestinian Mahmoud Skik, who lost both legs in an Israeli strike according to his family, sits inside the tent where he is sheltering in Gaza City on July 8, 2026, as he waits for an opportunity to travel abroad for medical treatment and prosthetic limbs. Skik, a father of seven, said he worked in the construction sector and later erecting tents for displaced Palestinians after the outbreak of the war before his injury left him unable to work. He said he has completed all the required procedures for medical evacuation and is still awaiting approval. International organizations say thousands of wounded people in the Gaza Strip require specialized treatment, rehabilitation and prosthetic limbs, while the territory's healthcare system remains under severe strain due to the ongoing war.
