As the world marks the International Day of Persons with Disabilities, we turn our attention to Gaza. Israel’s continuous bombardment of the besieged Strip has resulted in a significant number of disabilities, creating further challenges for those with special needs. Escaping the bombings for many Palestinians with mobility issues and hearing impairments has become nearly impossible. Many with disabilities haven't been able to evacuate to the south of Gaza, leading to heightened struggles for survival in the north.

MEMO Interviews: Will Brits fighting for Israel be charged with war crimes?
MEMO speaks to British lawyer Ilora Choudhury about the legality of Britons going to fight with the Israeli army in Gaza, and whether they could be implicated in war crimes on their return to the UK.
