Gaza’s silent epidemic

Gaza has the highest number of child amputees per capita & has been rendered incapable of taking care of them.

"..the healthcare system in Gaza cannot even begin to recover, much less address the multiple health crises plaguing the civilian population. One of the worst among them is the shocking number of amputees that Israel’s indiscriminate use of explosive weapons for 15 months has left behind."

Newborn babies have been exposed to measles at a Texas hospital and are receiving antibodies to protect them, NBC reports. The virus was brought into the University Medical Center Children's Hospital by a mother in labor — doctors didn't realize until after her admission that she was infected, and it's unclear when she tested positive. The immunoglobulin injections have been given to babies as young as three days old. A 2021 study found this therapy is highly effective in protecting exposed newborns who are too young to be vaccinated. Emergency masking procedures have also been implemented.

When Spanish colonizers established a town in the mountains of Bolivia in the 1500s, they might have expected to expand their communities by having babies, but they could not. While Indigenous folks raised families, not a single child of European descent was born for decades. It was all down to the lack of oxygen at altitude, which the settlers were not genetically adapted to deal with. @KnowableMag reports on how scientists are now studying this to see if they can help pregnant people whose bodies are struggling to provide enough oxygen to their fetuses, at any altitude.

Besides, getting measles isn't the worst thing that can happen to a child. Only 1 to 3 in 1,000 die of measles. And those who die must not have been meant to live; they lacked natural strength and were not fed and exercised properly.

For children who survive measles, the worst that can happen is that they go blind — but at least, they'll have their lives, even if they can no longer see.
