GAZA, Aug. 27 (Xinhua) -- Three young Palestinian mechatronics engineers invented a bionic arm controlled by wireless gestures to convert the moves, which was to help more people with arm disabilities in the Gaza Strip.

There are about 49,000 disabled people in the besieged enclave, or 2.4 percent of the total population, according to official statistics.
