While we were having our break in the backyard of Nasser Hospital, we suddenly heard three heavy airstrikes, which shook the whole hospital. In 15 minutes, we could hear the ambulances starting to arrive. Medical teams and MSF teams at the hospital decided to launch a mass casualty plan. They stopped working in the outpatient department and 20 of our medical staff went to support the emergency room. The situation was very tense and crowded, and a lot of injured people were arriving

In my experience, I have never seen a mass casualty event like today [Saturday]. Every corner in the hospital was busy. Every space was occupied by the injured or bodies of the dead. The medical staff were working very hard to save lives. Some patients passed away, unfortunately, because of the type of difficult injuries they had. Both the intensive care unit and the operation theater rooms were [fully] occupied..

Our anesthesiologist went to support the emergency room, and he discovered that his family were among the injured. He lost his nephew, and his daughters were injured. So even our medical staff, while they were working and trying to save patients, were receiving news that their families were among the injured or dead
