Israel's war on Gaza leaves thousands of children with life-changing eye injuries

More than 3,000 Palestinian children have sustained eye injuries during Israel's war on Gaza, with many now blind or visually impaired. Before the war, Gaza had rehabilitation and treatment centres to support them, but much of the healthcare system now lies in ruins. At Al-Noor Centre in Deir el-Balah, young survivors like 12-year-old Mohammed Odeh—who lost both eyes in an explosion—are learning to navigate the world through Braille and determination. Doctors describe the scale of paediatric eye injuries as unprecedented, yet teachers and families remain committed to ensuring these children's education continues despite the extraordinary challenges they face.
