“Another day of devastation here in Gaza. ”
Dr. Tom Potokar, Plastic surgeon who specializes in burn care (chief surgeon of the ICRC). Time in Gaza: Unknown

Well it’s another day of devastation here in Gaza. The story is coming from the north, absolutely horrific, particularly around the Indonesian hospital but also in the Alamassia area this morning where 36 people were killed in so-called safe zones. We’ve been operating all morning so far and all for explosive injuries. One young woman with leg fracture and shoulder fracture and a large wound on her buttock who came in yesterday and is not yet aware that everyone in our (her) family was killed in the onslaught. I mean it’s difficult to describe in words what’s happening here, constant sound of bombardment, jets overhead. If Cambodia was the killing field then Gaza now is the slaughterhouse.
