After month of war, Gaza's disabled face shortages, isolation

By Sylvia Westall GAZA (Reuters) - The attack came from the air in the afternoon, smashing Jamal Doghmosh's Gaza workshop to pieces, pitting his chest with shrapnel and severing his left arm. "It is not possible for me to work without my hands," he said from his hospital bed in Gaza City, three days after the Israeli army bombed his district. He is one of thousands of Palestinians who have been left physically disabled by the conflict with Israel in the Gaza Strip, which began on July 8 after a surge in Palestinian rocket salvoes into the Jewish state. Authorities in tiny, densely populated Gaza say 1,890 Palestinians have been killed and at least 9,000 wounded by Israeli air strikes and shelling, a toll worse than the last two bouts of war combined, dating to 2008-09.
