Turkish charity produces customised prosthetics for children who lost their limbs in last month's quakes in Türkiye in the colours of their favourite cartoon characters
The hands are made from environmentally friendly bioplastics from corncobs, Serdar Okumus, founder of Robotel Türkiye Foundation says.
“To be able to say ‘I have the hand of iron man’ gives confidence to a child and it also attracts positive reactions from other kids too,” he said. “Unfortunately, we have heard many reports of amputation from the disaster area. While the numbers are not final, it is clear that they are high,” said Okumus, who is currently visiting the quake-hit areas.
