Dr. Saif Al Mehrzi, an orthopaedic surgery consultant at the UAE hospital in Rafah, noted that the medical team has carried out several operations including a metal implant removal, and an endoscopy on an inflamed wound for a patient suffering from war-caused fractures, which helped save his limbs from amputation.

According to the doctor, the patient had been suffering from complications since undergoing surgery last October.
