A British doctor has shared footage with the BBC from inside the European Gaza Hospital near the southern Gaza city of Khan Younis, moments after a deadly Israeli air strike.
Dr Tom Potokar, a consultant plastic surgeon who has been to Gaza 16 times to treat patients, was at the hospital when warplanes dropped six bombs, killing 28 people and injuring dozens.
Israel says it was a precise strike on Hamas. The hospital has since been evacuated
Dr Potokar shared this footage of what he saw.
He told the BBC it was a “snapshot” of what he had seen while working at the hospital.
“We’ve been treating patients with huge open wounds, some even with maggots in, infected, multiple amputations, children down to the age of two with significant nerve injuries, traumatic brain injuries,” he said.
Israeli bombardment on Thursday killed at least 114 Palestinians in Gaza, rescuers and hospitals said.
