The United States and Iran are locked in an increasingly escalatory cycle of strikes that they each claim is aimed at preventing the other from securing military dominance over the Strait of Hormuz.

On a small football field in Deir el-Balah, central Gaza, a blast of cheers and laughter rises above the eerie silence of Israel’s ongoing genocide. On the pitch, one of the few to survive the war so far, a group of young women with artificial limbs pass the ball across the artificial turf playing surface. They are part of a team of young Palestinian women who have lost limbs in Israeli bombing or had body parts amputated after life-crippling injuries. Stories here begin with the pain each player endured during the moments of these air strikes, and the long journey that brought them back to their feet. Central to this has been the role of the Palestine Association Women’s Amputee Football Team to help them physically and mentally recover from their life-changing ordeals.

Omar Abu Atwa, a 30-year-old driver, was walking home from work one day in central Gaza last month when an explosion shook the street around him.

As he waited for an X-ray, the lights cut out, rendering much of the hospital’s medical equipment inoperable, including the machine doctors needed to inspect his wound. After a six-hour wait in the ward, Omar left tired and frustrated, without an X-ray or proper treatment for his injured hand. This is a repeated experience for patients in Gaza, including those rushed to hospital to receive potentially lifesaving surgery. “I waited for many hours inside the hospital hoping for electricity to return and the medical devices to start working again. During that time, I was in pain and anxious because I did not know the nature of my injury or whether my condition required urgent medical intervention,” he told Al Jazeera. “I saw children, elderly people and injured individuals waiting …
