The war in Gaza has been particularly difficult for people with disabilities and their families, who face shortages in devices to aid them and damage to accessible infrastructure. The suffering of handicapped people has been compounded by the lack of resources and restrictions on leaving Gaza.

Constantly relocating has been exhausting for disabled people, and even basic tasks like going to the bathroom have become difficult and nauseating experiences.
