Bioniks, a Karachi-based health-tech company specializing in smart prosthetics, has successfully delivered its first prosthetic limb to a young girl in Gaza, marking the start of its broader humanitarian initiative to support amputees in the war-torn region. The girl, named Sidra, lost her arm due to injuries sustained during the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict. This fitting was facilitated through Bioniks’ partnership with Mafaz, its official collaborator based in Jordan, enabling logistical coordination and regional access in the besieged Palestinian territory.

Bioniks shared the update on its social media, stating that Sidra is the first recipient under its new humanitarian mission focused on delivering customized prosthetics to Gaza residents. The company noted that this milestone reflects the spirit and strength of individuals affected by the conflict and reaffirmed its commitment to restoring mobility and dignity to those who have lost limbs during the violence. It emphasized that the effort is intended to give survivors access to mobility, confidence, and long-term support in an area where daily life has been severely impacted by war.

Founded in Karachi, Bioniks has developed a reputation for producing affordable and adaptive prosthetic limbs using 3D printing and embedded smart sensors. Its mission has focused largely on underserved communities, particularly children and war survivors, across Pakistan. The expansion of its services into Gaza represents a significant step in its outreach to international conflict zones. While the company has not specified a concrete number of planned beneficiaries or a set timeline for future fittings in Gaza, it confirmed that this initiative will continue and expand with the involvement of regional partners.

The humanitarian crisis in Gaza has worsened since October 7, 2023, when Hamas launched a cross-border assault on Israeli territory. The conflict escalated rapidly, leading to thousands of deaths and massive destruction across Gaza. Israeli tallies report over 1,200 deaths on their side and 251 hostages taken, while Gaza’s health ministry has recorded over 56,000 deaths, mostly women and children. The ongoing offensive has overwhelmed Gaza’s healthcare system and left around 80 percent of the population displaced. Aid agencies and medical groups have reported a sharp rise in amputations, particularly among children. UNICEF estimates that between 3,000 and 4,000 children in Gaza have lost limbs, with the region now having one of the highest ratios of child amputees globally.

Bioniks’ long-term vision includes not only fitting prosthetic limbs but also providing post-operative rehabilitation and ongoing care. The company said its approach will remain patient-centric, with each limb tailored to individual needs. It highlighted its core belief that mobility is a basic human right, especially for those affected by conflict. Previously, Bioniks has worked with hospitals and rehabilitation facilities across Pakistan, often using donor and crowd-funded support to provide prosthetics to underserved patients. Through this expansion, it aims to replicate a similar support model in Gaza and reach as many affected individuals as possible with customized assistive technology and follow-up services.
