Gaza's children with severe burns are receiving custom 3D-printed masks from Doctors Without Borders (MSF) to prevent permanent disfigurement. These masks are crucial for healing burn injuries, especially on the face, with 85% of current patients being children. MSF is the sole provider of these masks in Gaza, using a unique 3D scanner and printer. MSF faces critical shortages of printing filament and spare parts for their equipment due to Israeli import restrictions, jeopardizing ongoing treatment.
