As Israel's offensive in Gaza's north continues, a US doctor working in Al-Aqsa and Nasser hospitals has provided a harrowing account of the situation on the ground. Dr. Nabeel Rana, a vascular surgeon with US nonprofit MedGlobal, recounted the overwhelming scenes at Al-Aqsa hospital following an Israeli strike on a school.
Dr. Rana described how injured children, some as young as babies in diapers, filled the emergency ward of the hospital. These children had sustained head wounds, fractures, shrapnel injuries, and wounds on various parts of their bodies. With limited space, the young patients were forced to lie on the floor, crying and scared, without their parents by their side.
