The Jordanian 'Restoring Hope' initiative helps amputees in Gaza by giving them prosthetic limbs, handling 5 to 10 cases at a time.

Jordan's army has set up mobile clinics in Gaza to assist amputees, aiming to support 14,000 people.

Among those receiving help is 30-year-old Rezk Tafesh, who was fitted with a prosthetic leg after being injured during Israeli operations.

The teams are able to handle 5 to 10 cases at a time, although 90 percent of Gaza's population is displaced.
